Hotmail and other cgi nasties

Hi,

By denying access to the outside world on port 80, we are forcing our
users to go through the proxy. This is the only machine that is allowed to
get past the firewall. The problem is that certain sites, for example
hotmail.com don't work. They can get the hotmail login fine, but then when
they try and login it just sits at "waiting for reply" until the timeout
happens. This seems to affect any cgi based site. Any suggestions?

Thanks
