Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delayed response. It looks to me like you have done your homework
and taken the necessary steps to deal with this issue. Unfortunately, I don't
have anything to suggest beyond what you have tried already. It is difficult for
us to test proxy servers since we don't run one here, and more generally this
situation has not been high on the priority list.

Could you work with your sys admin staff to overcome this proxy server
situation?

I am also curious to know if you can access the
http://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/idd/forecastModels.xml URL simply in your web
browser.

Sorry we cannot be of more help.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
