Pkg.update() inside Julia

[Alejandro José C. Somoza]

I run  Pkg.update() and obtain:

INFO: Initializing package repository C:\Users\asomoza\.julia\v0.3

INFO: Cloning METADATA from git://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl

fatal: unable to connect to github.com:

ERROR: failed process: Process(`git clone -q -b metadata-v2 git://github.com/Juli

aLang/METADATA.jl METADATA`, ProcessExited(128)) [128]

 in error at error.jl:22

 in run at process.jl:479

I have a proxy, is any other setting necessary ????

I see the same error when my firewall blocks git and julia.

I had the same issue trying to use Pkg behind a firewall.  I ended up changing my git config with the following command:

git config --global url."https://github.com".insteadOf git://github.com
