Automatic Updates through a Proxy Server

A few months back I asked about getting updates through a proxy server, and was told that it wasn't possible. This was appearantly incorrect, at least if you are using Microsoft Proxy Server.

Go to the advanced tab of Internet Explorer's options and check the box that reads "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections.". Then start up Armybuilder, and do an update check. Low and behold, it works. The notification of updates, as well as the download of updates will funtion through a proxy connection.

This solution works with Microsoft Proxy Server version 2.0. I am not sure of other servers, but it is worth a try if you are suffering from this affliction.

Cheers,

I believe this will probably only work with IE. But it's nice to know that
it DOES work! We've overhauling the website right now, and I'll add this to
the "tips" section for AB.

Thanks, Rob
