No idea, I don't think you can - they are built so they cannot be circumvented. Contact your ISP and complain - really, the vendors need to get a clue and start actually implementing the RFCs. If your proxy is *good* you can tell APT about it directly and APT will set the proper HTTP/1.1 cache control headers to do expires and things. But I know of no proxy that supports them yet. Again, call your ISP and complain. Jason
