Something which might give this impression is that setup will now

I think you nailed it. I tried again this morning and the first time I
ran setup, it did contact our local site, but it did not on subsequent
runs (even to see if the file has changed). I then modified our web
This would be very bad, if true. Are you sure that we aren't
contacting the server at all? (such requests might not be logged in
some configurations)
Yes, I'm sure. I verified our web server logs requests with the
If-Modified-Since header. Also, I used wireshark to confirm there was no
request at all to our web server.
Hmm... In my testing I saw requests with If-Modified-Since: and
If-None-Match: headers being sent and a 304 Not Modified response being
sent.
I added INTERNET_FLAG_RESYNCHRONIZE, which looks like it might be needed
to do the right thing if the server doesn't send an ETag header, and
made another build.
