Getting away from the "discussion", I remember IE used to have a "facility" whereby you can bypass a proxy and download the web site directly, or at least that was the rumour.

Apparently, if a proxy was enabled in IE, and you press *I think* "Shift" + Refresh, the proxy would be refreshed by downloading the web site from its source again, and this downloaded it directly into IE too. Is this right? Or just another rumour? It doesn't seem to affect NTL's proxies, so I take it they don't refresh this way, anyway.
