Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
I am attempting to use mplayer to stream bbc programmes via a proxy in
the UK.
The proxy does not work because it require authentication, and mplayer
appears to strip out but not use the username:password definition in the
proxy name. I get the 407 error message
Reading the fora and mailing lists this appears to have been unchanged
since at least 2003, but there are published patches to fix it.
