Environment


Novell BorderManager 3.8

Novell BorderManager 3.8 Support Pack 5
PROXY.NLM version 5.10.03 dated 6-nov-2006

Situation

unable to listen to the aol radio thru proxy. It works fine if proxy is bypassed.
Novell Secure Manager 6 is having the same issue

Step to duplicate it:

Go to http://music.aol.com/radioguide/bb

You should see a link for AOL Radio with a big Listen Now button.
Click on that.

(You have to allow, or manually launch, a pop-up screen here. And
soon you may have to download a special app, install it, and come back
to here.)

In the popup window, click on Launch AOL Radio.

You should see Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. Going through NBM proxy, I
always have a failure on step 3. It stays indefinitely loading the list of the
stations, what make sense comparing it with the traces that shows an issue with the unagi/ultravox plugin making a wrong
call to the stream server when using proxy.

Resolution

Only workaround is to bypass proxy for this particular site till a fix is released.
