Look, I know how this works. Whenever I go to the internet, whether it for an Update from MS or just to get to the Coade website, I get a popup window that asks me for my userid and passord. In the Internet Explorer configuration

Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings

We use the "Use Automatic Configuration Script" option to point the browser to the proxy server. The proxy server gives us the popup so we can gain access to the internet. The company uses this to control access to outside websites. We have the same problem with Paulin now as well with their new internet based authentication.

Now, there are a number of programs that I use that have the option to allow me to manually input the address of the proxy server so that the program can get me the popup window for me to get access to the internet. Without the ability to put the proxy address in Caesar, or for Caesar to access the link from the IE configuration, there's no way this tool is going to be usable.

As it is, we'll be sticking with the traditional method of one of us downloading the patch and putting it on our network somewhere so all our users can run it.
