Actually, if you use the directive "35. useNoSSLForPackage YES", then
port 80 is all that is required.  If you are in a MS domain, make sure
you include the domain as part of your proxyuser parm.  I am behind a
bluecoat device and I have no problems.  Having said that, when we were
using microsoft proxy I couldn't get it working then either.
