For what it's worth, our Squid proxy doesn't cause any problems with
up2date on our local network. You might check the error log or access
log of the proxy to see why the proxy is blocking access--I don't think
up2date uses any odd HTTP methods, but it might. WebDAV has a history
of slow adoption in proxies. If there are no relevant log entries, a
tcpdump of the session and a conversation with your proxy vendor are
probably the best things you can do to resolve it.
