The site is http://webmail.ne.rr.com - it's the webmail for the
RoadRunner ISP that one of our customers is using.  Our customer gave us
a username and password to help diagnose the problem, but obviously and
unfortunately I can't pass it on.  I can get to the login screen without
a problem, but when I try logging in I get an alert box that reads:
'Session timed out. Log in again' and it then redirects me back to the
login screen.

I tried this before, but it was largely useless because it is SSL
traffic.

Yes.  Although interception caching is enabled, all of the tests that I
have been running have involved me pointing my browser directly at the
proxy.

Nope.  I tried removing it and it still didn't work.  After that didn't
work I just started removing things that didn't seem entirely necessary.
So, I ended up with a pretty bare-bones configuration and the error
remained.  Then I tried using the stock squid installation that Fedora
Core 4 installs.  The only thing I changed in Fedora's configuration was
to allow connections to it from my network.  I see the same problem.

Could RoadRunner be doing something on purpose that would make proxies
not work?  What could they be doing that would make requests arriving
through a proxy not work?  Has anyone had any similar problems with
other sites?
