Squid 2.6STABLE1 and IE6 SP2

I have a very short period of time in which to set up a proxy server for about 800 Windows boxes that "have to" use IE5 or IE6. I decided to try Squid since it seems to be the most popular proxy out there and it supports SSL/https proxying. I tested quiet a few things the past few days and everything looked good. But I run Gentoo Linux as my desktop and Firefox as my browser. Today, I gained access to a Windows box to test with and I found that the proxy didn't work. When I'd point IE to my Squid proxy and then restart it, I couldn't get anywhere when I'd type in any URL (local or on the internet). So I did some Googling and found a tip that I could either set "use http 1.1 when proxying" to on in the Internet Options dialog or I could apply the latest IE patches. I tested by setting the suggested http 1.1 setting and that allowed the proxy to work. The problem I'm facing is that our Windows admin is positive there is no way to set this for all the browsers centrally. So I'm wondering if there are any changes that I can make on the proxy side to make Squid a bit more friendly to IE. Anyone else using Squid in a medium sized (500+ workstations) environment with IE5 or IE6(SP2)/?

NAME

       basic_radius_auth - Squid RADIUS authentication helper

SYNOPSIS

       basic_radius_auth -f config file
       basic_radius_auth -h server name  port ] [-i identifier ] -w secret [-t timeout ]

DESCRIPTION

       basic_radius_auth allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate the user name and password of Basic HTTP authentication.

OPTIONS

       -f configfile
		   Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the CONFIGURATION section for details on the file content.

       -h server   Alternative method of specifying the server to connect to

       -p port	   Specify  another  server port where the RADIUS server listens for requests if different from the default RADIUS port.  Normally
		   not specified.

       -i identifier
		   Unique identifier identifying this Squid proxy to the RADIUS server.  If not specified the IP address is used to  identify  the
		   proxy.

       -w secret   Alternative	method of specifying the shared secret. Using the -f option with a configuration file is generally more secure and
		   recommended.

       -t timeout  RADIUS request timeout. Default is 10 seconds.

CONFIGURATION

       The configuration specifies how the helper connects to RADIUS.  The file contains a list of directives (one per line). Lines beginning with

       server radiusserver
	      specifies the name or address of the RADIUS server to connect to.

       secret somesecretstring
	      specifies the shared RADIUS secret.

       identifier nameofserver
	      specifies what name the proxy should use to identify itself to the RADIUS server.  This directive is optional.

	      Specifies the port number or service name where the helper should connect.

       timeout seconds
	      Specifies the RADIUS request timeout.
