Further to this, it seems that every access on the Vodafone network is
passed through this:

"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Bluecoat DRTR)"

That is some sort of VPN gateway device and seems to be the thing

Vf's network but seems to be called into action whenever something that
requires a download/action is seen:

Anybody know anything about how these devices work and how to get them to
pass my content?
