I've used both Mozilla and Galeon, both currently now at the latest
released versions (0.9.9 and 1.2.0 respectively) though I've tried in
the past with earlier versions.  I've also tried with MSIE 6.

And yes, it's going through proxies - I have oops locally and the
workplace runs a larger squid proxy which I parent in oops.
Occasionally when they're working, squid will go through the upstream
providers proxies - usually they're not though (yay Telstra) so the
squid will go direct.  That's how life is in countries that have to pay
for bandwidth.

I cannot bypass the proxy due to firewall restrictions.

Is your CGI relying on particular headers being available?  I think the
squid proxy is still stripping some out.  Which ones would I need?

I only added that as your page seems to indicate that one must first go
to Sun's download site, login and accept the SCSL before proceeding.

Sun have some very unique and innovative business practices, I wonder if
this "make it difficult for customers to get our products" strategy will
catch on?  Hmm... I wonder how IBM feel about a FreeBSD native Java SDK?
