Well you were saying that https was the issue and fetching the apache-flex-installer-config.xml file via https seems to fail via curl or in the browser is failing. The older SDK that are working don’t use https to get the config file. Try for instance this via curl or https: https://apache.melbourneitmirror.net/flex/4.16.1/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-installer-config.xml But the first issue you will run into is the cgi not returning the right thing and that would explain the timeout. > If I just use my browser to hit: > http://flex.apache.org/single-mirror-url--xml.cgi > I am getting the expected single line back.

I get the HTML page: MacBook-Pro:~ justinmclean$curl -v http://flex.apache.org/single-mirror-url--xml.cgi * Trying 40.79.78.1... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to flex.apache.org (40.79.78.1) port 80 (#0) > GET /single-mirror-url--xml.cgi HTTP/1.1 > Host: flex.apache.org > User-Agent: curl/7.54.0 > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2018 07:28:59 GMT < Server: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) < Vary: Host,Accept-Encoding < Transfer-Encoding: chunked < Content-Type: text/html < <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <meta name="description" content="Home page of The Apache Software Foundation"> <base href="https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi"; /> etc ect * Connection #0 to host flex.apache.org left intact MacBook-Pro:~ justinmclean$ If I run the installer in the debugger it also returns the whole page and the mirror URL ends up as that html content as well with a few letters off the start and end.
