2 Using HTTP proxy for streaming

OwnTone can access remote streams via proxy. This is different to a reverse proxy.

HTTP-proxy

To configure a proxy the environment variables https_proxy=http://<IP>:8888/ and http_proxy=http://<IP>:8888/ are respected. This behavior is inherited from libcurl.

Example:

export https_proxy=http://<IP>:8888/
export http_proxy=http://<IP>:8888/
owntone -d1 -P /tmp/owntone.pid

Other proxies

Other proxies are possible as well. See the documentation of libcurl for those.
