Icecast dev - Jun 2006 - Problem with some ogg players when using apache 2.0 as a proxy in front of icecast

I haven't the opportunity to test this yet. What I expect from the proxy 
is to send to client everything received from icecast.

What do you mean by no title update?

I would prefer developping a patch in icecast for a kind of mod-rewrite 
according to the virtual host name, so that we can get rid of apache or php.
But I don't know if destination host name is known in icecast.

not my firewall, but clients firewall. Using port 80 enable clients to 
connect to my streams if the other ports are blocked by their admin 
firewall.

Exactly, but I'm mainly obliged to use a proxy because I have several 
icecast servers, several streams with the same name. That was a big 
mistake to give the same name to streams one year ago. But at this time, 
I was having a server with several IP address. Now I have only one, so I 
have to deal with proxy and virtual hosts.
