Quote:Using environment variables
Another way to use proxy with curl is to set the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy. 
Note that setting proxy using environment variables works only with MacOS and Linux. For Windows, see the next section which explains how to use _curlrc_curlrc file.
If you look at the first part of these variable names,  it clearly shows the protocol for which these proxies will be used. It has nothing to do with the protocol used for the proxy server itself.

• http_proxy – the proxy will be used to access addresses that use http protocol
  
• https_proxy – the proxy will be used to access addresses that use https protocol
  

Simply set the variables http_proxy to http proxy address and https_proxy to set https proxy address. Open terminal and run these two commands.

I need your help. I have set up a Raspberry Pi with the latest Moode 8.3.6. In the environment in which we use this web radio, a proxy server is required for internet access. Do you have any idea how I can tell the system to go through a defined proxy server every time it accesses the Internet (e.g. CURL of the radio stream)?

If I set global variables that are actually taken into account by cURL, does this also work with Moode Audio?
e.g.

I have already set the global varibales but no radio stream is working. The GUI always shows CURL failed and Timeout.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Create the file /etc/environment.d/10-proxy-server.conf containing the two lines below substituting your web proxy IP address and port.

export http_proxy="http://proxy-server-ip:port/"
export https_proxy="http://proxy-server-ip:port/"

Reboot and test

Maybe I am missing something, but why do you need CURL...?
Can you specify your scenario? Some radio station uri / example?

Yes, I know, my question was more like "why YOU use curl, from the moment that MPD uses it itself".

Thank you for your answer. I have already created under /etc/enviroment following Code: (Placeholder are replaced, just for clarify)

Code:

export http_proxy="http://*Proxy-Name*:*PORT*/"
export https_proxy="http://*Proxy-Name*:*PORT*/"
export no_proxy="localhost, 127.0.0.1"

But I still created the file /etc/environment.d/10-proxy-server.conf for your suggestion and filled it right away.
Unfortunately, the stream of radio stations still does not work after a restart. I can now only retrieve data via the proxy at shell level using Curl.

I found out that you can define a proxy in the mpd.conf in the "input" tab. If I enter the proxy server here, I can receive radio streams. Unfortunately, this file is overwritten and recreated by Moode Audio every time the Raspberry is restarted. Is there a way to add manual configurations to the file an it will remain over reboot?

e.g.

Code:

input {
       plugin "curl"
#       proxy "proxy.isp.com:8080"
#       proxy_user "user"
#       proxy_password "password"
}

If you want to persist manual edits to mpd.conf try the developer tweaks feature.
