Re: CDDB queries through Proxy anyone?

["paul gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

If anyone's interested, I've just cracked this one!

I tried installing the proxy client on one of my PC's - that didn't help -
same error.

I just downloaded and installed the update to Audiocatalyst 2.1, and whilst
that in itself didn't improve matters, one of the things changed in this
update is the help file, and after rummaging through there for a while, I
happened upon some references to operation with a proxy server, including
how to supply authentication details to it.

Edit the Audiocatalyst.ini file, and add the following two lines:

ProxyUsername=yourusernamehere
ProxyPassword=yourpasswordhere

using a valid account name and password in the appropriate places.

I did this, and it works like a dream.

Obviously, the requirement for this will vary depending on the particular
proxy server in use, and the configuration of it....

Regards.

Paul G.
