Package: vlc
Version: 2.0.3-5

This bug may be in package vlc-nox instead of package vlc.

VLC HTTP streaming doesn't work with HTTP proxy enabled. A 'tcpdump -A' shows that VLC strips the path/file bit from the request. So 'http://Some_host/Some_Path/Some_File' becomes 'http://Some_host:80'
The squid proxy server access log confirms this.

An exception is using an IPv6 address instead of a hostname. When using 'http://[IPv6_Addres]/Some_Path/Some_File' VLC will bypass the proxy and work correctly. This is odd since my proxy is dual stack and a tcpdump shows that VLC requests both it's IPv4 and IPv6 address. In fact, it uses IPv6.

I'm using Debian stable with Linux version 3.2.0-4-686-pae
        (debian-ker...@lists.debian.org)
        (gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1
        SMP Debian 3.2.46-1


Regards,
Rob
