This is accurate but not entirely true. "non-standard web methods" is
not fair - a great many applications do not deal correctly with HTTP
proxy servers [especially if they require authentication].

You can inform the Windows 'system' regarding your proxy configuration
via the proxycfg/netsh commands;  doing so might make it work.

I think it is just as likely that the clients in this case do not honor
a 301/Location response and just stop.  That is quite common for web
service type applications.
