Windows installer behind a proxy

[Serguei Cambour]

I can't pass the 'Connection' step when trying to install Elixir with Windows installer because of a proxy. All other stuff (Ruby, Java, Maven etc.) work just fine.

Environnement variable HTTP_PROXY is set.

Any idea how to proceed ?

Thank you.

I'm not sure about the Elixir for Windows Installer but I think the Chocolatey NuGet package should work regardless of proxy.

Than you for the reply, I'll take a look at that.

I'm pretty sure the developer who created the Elixir Windows Installer still actively maintains it too so he may have more insight on what's going on with this as well.

I tried to run Chocolatey installation script and it failed for the same reason (proxy authentication):

C:\Users\XXX>@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https:/

chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin

You are authenticating with the proxy before you're trying this aren't you?  A 407 is "Proxy Authentication Required".  http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

Just because you've got the HTTP_PROXY environment variable set doesn't mean you've authenticated with the proxy.  Likewise, since I don't know how your Ruby, Java, Maven etc. are configured I can't tell if they're configured to send the proxy authentication automatically or not.  But if I were you, I'd be trying to find out how to authenticate to the proxy server.

I defined HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY variables as follows:

http://my_user_nam:my_password@my_proxy:my_port

For Maven, I set the same in settings.xml file.

For Ruby, I created .gemrc file with the same values.

I tried to modify Chocolate install.ps1 file as explained here, still got the error:

You'll note on that page you linked (about configuring Chocolatey NuGet with a proxy server) there's this: THIS MAY BE OUTDATED.  In fact I'm almost certain that it is out of date because a lot has changed with CNG in the past couple of months.

Either way, I don't think this is an issue with either Chocolatey or the Elixir Windows installer.  I think it's something with your proxy configuration.  If I were you, I'd look for either detail on configuring NuGet with a proxy server or detail on using an Inno Setup installation with a proxy.  I suggest checking on NuGet because chances are whatever you need to do for NuGet will work with Chocolatey and you're much more likely to find an answer for NuGet. 

Either way, I think you're more likely to get the assistance you need by checking on those sources than by asking here.  I'm pretty sure anyone here would be glad to help but I think it's more of an issue with how you need to configure either CNG or Inno Setup to deal with a proxy.

OK, got it, thank you.
