Issue/Introduction
When Java LiveUpdate (JLU) is configured to connect through a proxy that is using HTTP/1.1 feature called "chunked encoding", it may not successfully complete all virus definitions downloads.
The following lines may be found in Java LiveUpdate logs:

Resolution
Java LiveUpdate does not support certain HTTP/1.1 proxy servers that send traffic using chunked encoding HTTP headers.
In order to resolve this problem, it is recommended to deploy an internal LiveUpdate Administrator server, which is fully supported by Java LiveUpdate.
