Problem setting RSS feeds to request though a proxy server

[jhei21]

Hi all,

My host has recently changed the way they handle outbound HTTP requests and this has killed my RSS feeds. they told me that the fsockopen command will need to go through a proxy server.

I have been gettin the following error:

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to feeds.feedburner.com:80 in /includes/class_rss_poster.php on line 85

Warning: Unable to fetch RSS Feed in /includes/class_rss_poster.php on line 212

I changed the following lines in the /includes/class_rss_poster.php

line 85:
$fp = fsockopen($url['host'], $url['port'], $errno, $errstr, 5);

line 89:
$fp = @fsockopen($url['host'], $url['port'], $errno, $errstr, 5);

to

line 85:
$fp = fsockopen($url['proxy.proxy.proxy.com.au'], $url['3128'], $errno, $errstr, 5);

line 89:
$fp = @fsockopen($url['proxy.proxy.proxy.com.au'], $url['3128'], $errno, $errstr, 5);

but still get an error on line 212. Any ideas?

Any help would be great.
