Hi,
I've ran into a number of problems using WordPress because it doesn't support proxies.
It breaks the dashboard and, I believe, outbound trackbacks and pings.
Details of what I had to do to fix the dashboard
Details of what I had to do to fix class-IXR.php
It should be possible to configure a proxy server using the administration interface. It isn't possible to fix this via a plugin, I had to modify class-snoopy.php and class-IXR.php to support my host's proxy. In the case of class-IXR.php, it had no built-in support for proxies at all.
Thanks
Or, you could just use the latest version of WordPress (v2.0.3) where I believe it shouldn't be a problem as security has been switched to nonces. :)
Okay, so I did upgrade to 2.0.3. I still have a problem with class-IXR.php and had to do the changes as I described in here.
The dashboard on the other hand, worked out of the box so it doesn't hang. I have no idea if it's correctly getting data remotely.
This morning, I logged into my WP and the dashboard took a while to load. It didn't crash but the content on it was now one day out of date.
I did the changes as I described here and then went to the dashboard and it correctly updated all the data.
These issues are not fixed in WP 2.0.3.
