Accessing last.fm behind proxy

I downloaded and experimented with this app over the weekend, and loved it. This morning I tried to run it and when I attempt to login it complained about having no network connection. Unfortunately, where I work has a proxy server in place, however I've configured my ipod touch with the correct settings and I can browse the internet through safari quite happily. I can also access last.fm from my work pc, through firefox and the proxy server, without issues, so I know the proxy server isn't blocking anything.

Are there any known issues with using this application through a proxy server?

I've tested the iPhone client through a squid 3 proxy and it works fine. Are you able to use the desktop client through your work proxy?

Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the client and that worked fine. It asked me for the proxy settings when I first logged in, which it accepted and I'm now listening to it as I reply to this. It's a secure proxy if that makes any difference with your test.

Hi, all. I have the same issue on ipod touch 2nd gen. Serfing online via safari (configured squid proxy settings in wi-fi http proxy). but couldn't login to last.fm. It says no internet connection.

I've got right the same trouble. Proxy is 3proxy. Everything else works fine through it, and desktop client too.

3proxy on the iPhone and last.fm app

@mefleetwood @c99koder

I cannot manage to setup 3proxy in order to make it work with Last.fm app on the iPhone.
I know the address of a working US proxy, and I got to set up the desktop app to work with it. However, when I setup this proxy via the default iPhone proxy settings Last.fm app does log in but when I try to play a radio station it says that there is "no connection". Safari.app on the iPhone works correctly with the proxy.
Now I downloaded 3proxy via Cydia but I cannot find the setup instructions to make it connect to the remote proxy server. Would you point me at them?
thanks
Cosimo

It's not that it doesn't work behind a proxy per se, it's that many of the work related ones in particular have pretty tight firewalls. If you try just using a public proxy server it will work fine. That means it's got to be the configuration of the work related one.

The same problem with Last.fm web site

I have the same problem with last.fm web site. It works fine with direct connection, but I get only banner if I try via proxy. The proxy should be open to everywhere and Last.fm is the only site I am having proxy problems with.
