Just to be clear, you're trying to run the program from behind a proxy, yeah?

Thanks for the stack trace -- having that makes a big difference :)

I'm not sure I can make it work with an arbitrary proxy, but I'm pretty sure I could get it to work with a proxy you know the address of. Proxies aren't my strong suit, sorry. We'll see what happens!

That's right.

> I'm not sure I can make it work with an arbitrary proxy

You could assume that users know their own proxy address (e.g. http://proxy.domain.com:80) and offer a prompt for them to input it. Then you can just save it in the config file.

I added an update to the stack trace page with some code for working with proxies:

Hope that helps!

Thanks a bunch!

It's getting pretty late now (just hit 3am), but check back at http://github.com/scottjacksonx/hnsh (or http://scottjackson.org/software/hnsh/) some time late tomorrow and the project should be hosted there, as well as your proxy fix.

Great stuff! I'll follow your github repository.
