The new proxy additions to libURL are supposed to find proxies
automatically on any platform. I'm not sure the thread you mentioned is
valid for this particular problem though, if this is the one you meant:
<http://forums.livecode.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=22138&sid=8a87285f7bf30595a526a9171a9c7899&start=15>
The proxy entry in that thread is the one entered in the LC preferences,
and was probably added automatically when the OP set up the proxy the
first time. When he removed it from his computer later, LC didn't update
its own prefs (I'm assuming) and so it continued to use the preferences
entry. But in a standalone, there would be no retained proxy setup, it
would have to be re-discovered on each launch. So...
I'm stuck. But thanks for making me find that thread, it's still valuable.

Seriously doubt it would apply to macs. The note in the dictionary says
that on windows machines, if a proxy is set it will use it automatically,
no such note on a mac. Though I guess its possible, depending on the way LC
determines if a proxy has been set.
Too bad, it fit SO well for windows machines. Maybe something will pop
into my head. (though, I guess it wouldn't hurt to see if stale proxy
settings on a mac will do the same thing)

I'm not sure about the other users but the latest one is on OS X. Could
this affect Macs too?

OH, thought just occurred to me, based on something that happened in
another thread. If they're on windows, and had a proxy set up at some
point, then the proxy was disabled.. The information about the proxy still
shows up greyed in the settings. And it seems that LC decides the proxy
is
still active even though it isn't. The browser would work, because it
knows the proxy has been disabled. The solution, is to clear the proxy
information from the settings, even though the proxy settings are
technically already disabled.

The hosts file can be set up to provide specific name to ip address
mappings. 99.9% of the time its not used, and if it is, its often a
hijack. Along with the hijack thing, its also possible that a proxy has
been set up unbeknownst to the user, and its munging something as it
decides where they want to direct the user, rather than where the user
actually wants to go.
Can you post some of the gibberish?

Out of thousands of users, occasionally one can't connect and repeatedly
gets an invalid host address error. What causes those? All users are
sending to the same server at the same domain. Naturally they all say
it's
only our app and never happens in a browser.
Everything I've found about it is mostly gibberish to me. Is this
something to do with the hosts file on the computer? The latest report
says
it happens on different networks (home and school) so I assume it's
specific to his machine.
