[Icecast] URL authentication

[Klaas Jan Wierenga]

Does your instance of icecast have CURL support compiled in? Without it 
authentication doesn't work I think. Furthermore, if you're running 
icecast in a chroot jail then you need to make sure the curl shared 
libraries are installed in the chroot jail as well.
