Running Instagram on AVD

Issue

I wanted to use Instagram on my computer, so I decided to use an Android Virtual Device for that task.

I downloaded the Android SDK and the newest apk for instagram for my computer.

Then I created a new AVD and ran it. After it was booted, I installed the instagram apk using adb install instagram.apk.

It installed smoothly and after clicking the app, it started.

Now here's my problem: From there on nothing works.

When I try to login and I press the login button, nothing happens like there would be no internet connection.

Browsers and other apps using an internet connection work just fine, just instagram doesn't work.

How can I fix this?

Solution

I think it has something to do that the android Emulator can't really handle a global proxy. Therefore hostnames get resolved directly to their IP which violates HTTP 1.1 standarts and the request doesn't get send properly. To fix this, it is needed to change it so the hostname gets send instead of the IP.
