FYI, I have nothing to do with pyRadio development, and I have next to zero python experience, but I was just looking at some of the pyRadio source @ /opt/pyRadio, and noticed (I think) that 'urllib2' is being used for the http requests, rather than something like QNetworkManager (or QNetworkAccessManager???).

And I don't want to pollute this thread with off-topic tangents, but I've done just a bit of Qt/C++ development lately, which is just loosely related because my current code is using QUrl, QHttp, signals, slots, etc... and I just discovered QNetworkManager by accident, when I was looking into Diablo SDK network issues.

In any case, I just have the vaguest idea that QNetworkManager exposes some amount of proxy information, or that you might be able to check for a proxy, but I haven't gotten around to rewriting any of my http/network code (working fine on several platforms w/Qt 4.5 - 4.7, so the Diablo SDK tangent was mostly a red herring at the moment), so I can't say I'm familiar with implementation firsthand (yet).

I think that the urllib2 library is sort of a convenience for avoiding some of the typical signals/slots stuff with some of the other Qt network classes, but I'm guessing that fatalsaint may have more input on the topic.

Edit: Looks like urllib2 (depending on version?) may have proxy support...
