[squid-users] Problem with some Microsoft Sites

We have started having some problems with some Microsoft sites,
including the Windows Update sites. It would appear that they have
made a change to their site which means that when acessed through
Squid it fails. On windows update you get a 0x80072F78 error.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941 just gives a blank page in
Firefox, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" in IE. It
works when you bypass the proxy.
I am using NTLM authentication, but have tried it bypassing the
authentication. There is no error from the Squid box, it just doesn't
display the page.

The only information I have found searching for the error messages is
several years old and talks about bypassing authentication. This
appears to be a recent change to the MS sites.

I get this in the access.log when using the authentication
1211286171.493 37 x.x.x.x TCP_DENIED/407 1866 GET

I am using Squid 2.5.12-4ubuntu2.4 On Ubuntu 6.06 Server Edition.

Any help would be greatfully received.

Regards.

Mark.
