Sorry, I should have added that the proxy was NetCache. Try using the proxy
I suggested: proxy.ord.marketscore.com 80 .

Actually, moreover, the Microsoft article suggests that it is only
"Name-Space Handler" keys in the registry that are named "http", "https",
"ftp", "gopher", "file" that cause the problem. It seems that your "mk"
entry wouldn't fit this bill and so is therefore probably not going to cause
a problem.

There is a fairly specific way in which Netcache proxies serve chunked
pages, in that they serve the chunks "one chunk per ip packet" so it could
be something to do with that. Maybe I used the term "transparent"
incorrectly. One can often tell from the HTTP headers that a proxy has been
used, although it has happened without being explicitly requested.
