Yeah...I have no idea why they won't upgrade (the IT guy said it would "break stuff"...downside of working for a very large organization, they're very slow to get anything going!).
Unfortunately, they don't let me touch any of the ArcGIS Server stuff, so I don't even know where/on what it's hosted. They have a separate group work on all that stuff, so I'm pretty clueless about it.
How would one go about re-writing the proxy page to make it work for 1.0? I'm really not a programmer at all - I've only been here a few months and my messing around with JavaScript is my first foray into any kind of programming - would it be reasonable for a newbie like me to do?
It's not a lot of code (only 279 lines including whitespace) but I don't know how much understanding of what it's doing you have, do you understand about HTTP request/response mechanisms and are you using the token functionality etc?Indeed it does! I really wish I knew in school how much non-GIS stuff a GIS guy has to do and took some more appropriate courses - at least then I'd understand what I don't understand!
You could have a go, either try to do it line by line or perhaps break it down into functional components e.g. the simplest thing it does is to take the querystring portion of the URI it's received in the request, execute a request using the value then return that response in the response to the originating client. < If none of this makes sense then perhaps that's your answer?

The comment you made about ArcGIS Server needing .NET 2.0 helped a lot though - we definitely have a box for v10, so it sounds like I should be able to get the proxy page hosted on that and avoid the issue altogether.
