RSS feeds not downloading through proxy

Hi,

I have privoxy installed as a local proxy on my machine, and I've set utorrent to go through it for HTTP requests - but now RSS feeds don't download! Utorrent can connect to trackers for torrents through the proxy just fine. If I open the RSS config window and click Update Now I can see in the proxy logs utorrent's trying to get the RSS feed, but nothing appears in the RSS window, and utorrent just goes back to "Next update in..."

I tried the beta 406 build but it's the same. If I proxy IE or firefox through the same proxy, they have no problems getting the RSS feed, so I'm guessing it must be a bug in utorrent? I can't think of anything dumb I could be doing. :D

Hi, I have the same problem. I use Tor and privoxy installed as a local proxy through HTTP requests. utorrent connects to trackers without difficulty but will not get any RSS feed. When I change to 'none' for proxy in the connections dialogue box, the feeds come through with no problem.

Any suggestions how to keep my local proxy on and still get feeds??

I am having exactly the same problem. Although in my case, usually RSS feeds without Cookies worked correctly, but if the RSS URL had ":COOKIE:", the request that went through to the proxy literally had that URL, returning a 404. Is this going to be fixed in 1.7?
