You have several options:

1. Choose another music player than MediaBox.
2. Choose "Internet Radio" from MediaBox and copy your URL.
3. Write a feature request to https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mediabox
4. Fix the problem yourself in the source code of MediaBox.
5. A more sophisticated way :Mount your remote file system with sshfs instead of http.

Code:
sudo gainroot

# install sshfs and fuse
apt-get install libfuse2 sshfs
chmod 777 /dev/fuse

# mount the remote file system
su -c user sshfs user@192.168.2.14:/remote/directory /local/mount

# 192.168.2.14 is the IP address of the remote computer

# unmount when finished
umount /local/mount
exit
Put this in a script to mount and a script to unmount. Use /etc/sudoers to get root permissions for your scripts.
