Greetings:

I've been trying to implement CrawlTrack on a site and I noticed that on any page that invokes CrawlTrack using the following 2 lines:

$crawltsite=1;
require_once("C:/xampp/htdocs/site1/crawltrack/crawltrack.php");

The page doesn't load, and the browser throbber is spinning until it times out.  In tracing through the code, I've found that the system hangs in file "C:\xampp\htdocs\crawltrack\include\searchenginesposition.php" at line 1767 which reads:

$crawltxml1 = file_get_contents($crawltquery1);

On the line before, it sets the variable $crawltquery1 to a Yahoo Web Search Service (couldn't put URL due to anti-spamming limitations here).

It seems to be going out to the web to pull something from Yahoo that it cannot access.  I am running behind a proxy server, and I have set the $proxyhost and $proxyport variables on lines 379 & 380 and 1272 & 1273, respectively, and still no love.

My questions are these:
- Why is CrawlTrack going out to Yahoo?  There are other lines of code that also have it access exalead.com (line 1865) and del.icio.us (line 2037).  What is the purpose of this?  Is this required for CrawlTrack functionality?
- Is there some other place where I need to designate proxy information in addition to what I already have set, listed above?
- Is there any other configuration that is required that I'm missing?
- Is there an error log somewhere that might give some hint why CrawlTrack is failing?

Any information appreciated.
