This is the most probable reason why it might work for ISA2000 and not
for ISA2004:

One of the differences:

Example request with URL: http://xxx.com/test.txt  from SNAT client

ISA proxy function for plugins:
GetServerVariable(pfc,"URL",&url[0],&dwSize))
Returns for SNAT&FW client 

On ISA2004:
"/test.txt"

On ISA2000 same function for same clients returns:

"http://xxx.com/test.txt";

This change has to be considered by any ISA ISAPI Proxy plug-in working
with URLs.

Regards David Farinic.

P.S.: IMHO user credentials are not in question here as problem is that
they don't see URL which breaks everything. User's credentials don't as
u can still deploy "filter [SEX sites] for all clients" scenario.

It didn't.
Neither SurfControl nor WebSense work with clients that are *strictly*
FW or SNAT on ISA 2000.  They *can* work with ISA 2004 because a
fundamental design change that allows the web proxy to obtain
credentials for these users.

Okay, so why do you think it worked with ISA2000, but not with ISA2004?

There must be some fundamental design difference where it doesn't do a
mass redirection of all web traffic through the proxy, like it did
