For me that link yields this:

Code:

cp39465.edgefcs.net/fcs/ident
====================================================
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Length: 72
Server: FlashCom/3.0.2
Content-Type: application/xml

====================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<fcs><ip>64.208.21.70</ip></fcs>
====================================================

Note that IP address. When trying to view a show, two nasty things happened.

1. Their Flash tried to bypass the browser's proxy settings. My firewall altered me several times that Firefox was trying to access 64.208.21.70, ports 1935 and 80. I don't let any browsing activity touch the internet except through my proxy. So be warned that you may need a firewall to stop them bypassing your Proxo, else your filters may be circumvented.

2. On several occassions my proxy flared up with a rarely seen error about invalid garbage being given for HTTP headers. Each time the garbage values were different, and only on POST to 64.208.21.70. My proxy verifies header integrity as self-defense, and I have very little tollerance for something that spews unpredictable crap for headers. Hopefully Proxo has some similar defenses or else Hulu may cause unpredictable abort.

I think I'm done with Hulu, maybe forever. Good luck with it.
