Sweet. Let me know, eh?

By the way, when you do get the proxy support in there, make sure it supports authenticated proxies: i.e., ones where you have to enter your username and password. Most apps I've seen go through the following development growth:

- First release: No firewall support.
- Three months later: Firewall support, but only for simple proxies.
- Three months later: Support for authenticating firewalls.

I can never use the app until it reaches the third stage. :-)

By the way, does it use a non-HTTP port for its communication? My firewall has all the ports blocked except for 80 and 81. For instance, when using the CDDB, I have to tell it to use the HTTP protocol to get the job done or it won't work.
