Windows Live Messenger Bug with Authenticated Proxy

Hi,
I'm using WLM from inside an Enterprise Network with an authenticated Proxy
(SQUID).

The problem is that no contacts are shown.
I'm a developer so I traced the connection and I found that, as I reported
during the beta test period,
whenever WLM tries to connect to the URL to download certificates to use to
connect to SSL servers,
it doesn't use proxy settings at all.
Fortunately, it doesn't use proxy settings just for that URL.

I solved by downloading and installing certificates by hand...I hope this
post will make a
suggestion to WLM Guys.

Igor.

Greetings Igor,

Yes I remember this being an issue but I forgot about it.

I've put it on my active list again.
