How can I use pip over HTTP, not HTTPS?

I am behind a corporate proxy which does not allow proper HTTPS access for python programs. HTTP requests work though.

Many thanks, Leo

As soon as you touch PyPi you will need HTTPS, you have to fix your proxy, sry.

cheers,

Is there somewhere a PyPi mirror which allows access via HTTP instead of HTTPS?

Many thanks,
Leo

Thanks Donald.

Not sure how to get HTTPS going behind our NTLM proxy...

is port 443 not allowed, or is it only about the authorization against
your firewall? if the latter i'd suggest this thing [1]. it is ages i
was in a need, but i it was very useful for me. i've used that even to
ssh out (with ssh listening on port 443).

Maybe you can get your proxy's SSL cert and use pip's --cert <path> option to install. That works for me.

to virtualenv
yet another retarded pip feature

Collecting gevent-psycopg2
  Downloading gevent-psycopg2-0.0.3.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.24.tar.gz

these following pip options :
-index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple/
--trusted-host pypi.python.org

can make me download distribute, but block psycopg2 installation
and psycopg2 installation needs distribute
