Couple more suggestions to try to see if they can get thru the proxy: $ curl -J|-O [--user-agent ...] https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe $ lynx -source [-useragent ...] https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe > setup-x86_64.exe which might give developers hints how setup could be changed to work. >From testing curl uses minimal extra headers, wget a few, and lynx TUI most like GUI products: User-Agent: curl/7.54.0 Wget/1.19.1 (cygwin) Lynx/2.8.7rel.1 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2k Accept: */* */* text/html, text/plain, text/css, text/sgml, */*;q=0.01 Accept-Encoding: identity gzip, bzip2 Connection: Keep-Alive Accept-Language: en I don't use emacs or I would have tested it, so perhaps someone who lives in it could; I find vim's "browser" less than useful, although I can otherwise live in it, as others can with emacs: so many scripts and plugins, so little time to try them and tweak them. -- Take care.
