I think I've found the problem. It's a "new LMS problem" in my view,
triggered by the use of a proxy server. "New", because I think
historically servers have tolerated an unnecessary fragment suffix in a
GET request. But perhaps the BBC Servers (and others ?) are becoming
less tolerant.
Code:
--------------------
In package Slim::Networking::Async::HTTP;
sub _format_request {
my $self = shift;
my $fullpath = $self->request->uri->path_query;
$fullpath = "/$fullpath" unless $fullpath =~ /^\//;
Yields /radio/aod/availability/bbc_radio_ulster.xml
# Proxy requests require full URL
if ( $self->use_proxy ) {
$fullpath = $self->request->uri->as_string;
Yields http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/availability/bbc_radio_ulster.xml#extra
Which the BBC servers have decided to "choke" on
}
<snip>
--------------------
If @pshepherd were to adapt his -Slim::Networking::Async::HTTP- to strip
off a fragment suffix I'll hazard a guess that matters would proceed
smoothly.
My guess is that -HTTP::Request- handles this for us when it builds the
-path_query-. But the proxy request logic doesn't. Possibly the answer
is to have - _format_request- just strip any fragment suffix it may
find.

Here's my UK -dig-. You'll appreciate that I don't think it is relevant
to the problem.

I don't have the problem, because, I think, I don't use a proxy server.
I haven't tried using https. That might be a different code path. Would
need to check how it works in the context of a proxy.
