[vlc] Last.fm not updating with error.

As the forums are down, I guess this is the next best place to ask...

I'm having an issue with the Last.fm support in VLC v0.9.2 on Windows.
It worked fine for a couple of days but now it's not updating and I'm
seeing the following errors in the message log:

audioscrobbler debug: Handshake successfull :)
audioscrobbler debug: Going to submit some data...
main debug: net: connecting to 87.117.229.205 port 80

I've checked my IPCop install and found it accessing 2 websites, the
first is http://post.audioscrobbler.com which returns the following:

OK
a31ae322253e40a685a8663947c95f95
http://post.audioscrobbler.com:80/np_1.2
http://87.117.229.205:80/protocol_1.2

The second is "http://protocol_1.2/protocol_1.2". I believe this is
where the DNS error is coming from?!?!?! It seems VLC is not using the
"http://87.117.229.205" properly. It says that the resource is
temporarily unavailable but according to IPCop, that IP address is
NEVER even accessed!
