hi amos
Welcome to the world of security protection against man-in-middle
attacks (the correct name for 'transparent' interception proxy
mode).
Windows Update requires a HTTPS authentication request to succeed
before it will update. The authenticator unconditionally verifies
the security certificates as all good browsers and web clients
should also be doing.
... catch my drift?
yes, but normally some message is popping up to the customer saying:
yeah dude, there's a certificate but it's wrong. you want me to do
Well, what would you expect a master-privilege background service with
zero user input access to do?
something? but i see, i have to 'bypass' microsoft updates on the
firewall instead of forwarding it the to proxy.... thats a hack, and
i dont like hacks.. ,-(

The biggest hack of all is the transparent proxy itself. :)
Followed closely by the 'okay' button which disables security in the web
browser every time the users click it and pass you their secure data.
Oh well, your choice, your problems.
