How did you send a HTTP GET with the "Icy-MetaData:1" from flash? If not from flash, then from where?

Flash blocks all custom headers with HTTP GET. HTTP POST doesn't work for shoutcast audio streams I try to connect to.

Also, have you discovered a way to go crossdomain and get a shoutcast stream with the "Icy-MetaData:1" header? If you solved the above HTTP GET problem, then this problem should be solved. Tried in javascript, but you run in to site origin policy.

People have been doing flash shoutcast stream players for a while, and some had eliminated the memory problem. but nobody from what i can tell has been able to send "Icy-MetaData:1" for the song info in an HTTP GET.
