Stratum server issue

[jp333]

Major newbie here.

Trying to connect to bitminter stratum server. I'm executing "mining_proxy.exe -o mint.bitminter.com -p 3333" and it starts up fine. Once I start mining I get an error that keeps repeating:

'rotocolException: Cannot decode message 'POST / HTTP/1.1

I don't understand how it's going through http and not stratum? The odd thing is I had it working at my brother's house last night and it worked fine, then i try to run it at my house and now I'm getting this.

Anyone have a similar issue?
