If you have root access to a webserver, then you can easily tcpdump traffic from the proxy, and just look at the "win" value on the initial SYN from the proxy, and the last FIN.
tcpdump / ethereal or another packet dumping tool can also be used client side to do the same thing (which is what I did earlier), but they could well change the client facing window to be small ( it doesn't need to be big, but currently it is on the first cache in "winn" and "popl" ).
I would just wait for Firetrap or A N Other to say when they think they've got the problem licked. Until then multiple tcp connections will get around most problems for anything that doesn't require high bandwidth over a single connection.
If you want to have a play with tcpdump/ethereal and need any help drop me a PM, which I think I've enabled? If not pipe me :-)
