Yes, I had read the KB article. I had hoped not to bypass the proxy server,
but instead include the appropriate HTTP content type in my allowed list.
But failing that I went ahead and bypassed the proxy for the download sites
included in the KB article. The Windows update for the two failed updates is
now working fine. It is interesting that without the change some updates
were working. For some reason it appears those two updates have a different
HTTP content type from others.
Thanks. Problem solved.
