Looking for help with creating an http proxy server via Android. It's a bit difficult to ask this question with examples, etc, because networking isn't familiar to me, which means I don't quite know how to get started, so I'll try to explain: I'm attempting to play an audio stream using Android's MediaPlayer. It's a snap using setDataSource and my URL string... only some phones (those still running Android 1.5) won't play the stream. Through research I've discovered that the problem may reside with the headers associated with my stream URL, that something in them is either missing, wrong, or simply needs to be changed in order for the MediaPlayer not to reject the URL on prepare() (could be length and/or content-type). I've been told that I should attempt to solve the problem by creating an http proxy server in my app, one where I can alter the headers to however I need them, and then attach to the stream through this new proxy... but I haven't the slightest idea on how to do this. Anyone have advice? I'd greatly appreciate a point in the right direction through code, not just suggestions like "look up HttpClient in the SDK", because I've been through all of that and am getting nowhere. Thanks...
