Where apparantly , you can have to set the proxy settings again. Depending on java versions and other issues, as far as I understand, sometimes these applets don't inherit the browsers credentials w.r.t. proxy authentication. Hence squid refuses (unauthenticated) http requests from it. You may verify this, at your final stage, when the download is tried, check squid's access.log for the last entry reported from your browser. M.
