some httpd servers overide the system's send rwin value thus making it not apply whilst ftpd servers normally use it so a httpd server eg. might be using a 65536 rwin as opposed to a ftpd's 32768 rwin.

We agree on the proxies anyway but I will add an additional point, even if the file isnt cached if the end user has a default rwin which is much lower then 64240 and the proxy has that value set then I think the proxy is retrieving it for them at 64240 and then they download of the proxy as it recieves it.
