[squid-users] OWA on Exchange 2003 proxy

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with squid and OWA on
Exchange 2003 proxies.

My major hurtles are two in number.

1) forms based authentication mode turns on ssl on the exchange
server. Https connections fail because it does not like the test cert
we put on the exchange server. Is there any way to tell squid to
ignore the problem with the ssl test cert on the 2003 exchange server?
We can skip forms based auths if we can cause squid to time out
sessions... Seems as though exchange credentials are stored on the web
client, and are not destroyed until the web client is quit.

2) if using IE on Windows, exchange2003 goes into high gear mode and
gives special features to the client, and this does not work on the
squid system I configured for exchange2000. I believe there is a
redirect that is causing the proxy to spin it's gears, as the mail
folder list never gets populated with mail messages. So, if someone
here has a suggestion with regards to this issue, or if there is a way
to stop letting Exchange 2003 know that the client is IE on windows, it
would be very helpful.

Maybe some of these issues are addressed in squid3?

Thanks very much!
