Error in Julia v1.11 when updating Registry or packages

Problem

I installed Julia with juliaup in Windows, and I am currently on v1.11 beta. When I try to run ] update the following appears:

(@v1.11) pkg> update
┌ Warning: could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
│   exception = RequestError: Failure when receiving data from the peer while requesting https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
└ @ Pkg.Registry C:\Users\fcpv\.julia\juliaup\julia-1.11.0-beta1+0.x64.w64.mingw32\share\julia\stdlib\v1.11\Pkg\src\Registry\Registry.jl:75

  No Changes to `C:\Users\fcpv\.julia\environments\v1.11\Project.toml`
  No Changes to `C:\Users\fcpv\.julia\environments\v1.11\Manifest.toml`

Plus, it takes a bit longer than my v1.10 instance (maybe 1 second or so) in launching and also in entering Pkg REPL mode.

Current Julia version

The first issue could be a temporary network issue or perhaps your firewall is blocking something.

This is somewhat expected.

I am using my home’s WiFi, but this is happening in a corporate laptop. Any way to check this?

Sorry to ping again, it is really making it difficult for me to work in my corporate laptop. Pinging Stefan because I think he did some rework facing v1.11 regarding Pkg server infrastructure.

Seems likely that your company laptop is setup to use some kind of firewall that’s blocking access to pkg.julialang.org and/or storage.julialang.net. That wouldn’t have changed in 1.11, however. I would talk to your sysadmins and get them to help you.

Is there any way to check at which point is the process failing? That might help them debug it.

Thanks for the help!

Usually a good starting point is to try

curl -L https://pkg.julialang.org/registries

This happens:

fcpv@ltfcpv MINGW64 ~
$ curl -L https://pkg.julialang.org/registries

Have you contacted your corporate IT regarding accessing pkg.julialang.org, particularly storage.julialang.net?

A bit of a follow-up.

In my corporate machine I have both Windows and WSL installed. Both error in v1.11rc3 but none of them in v1.10.5, but the error in WSL is a bit more concrete (or maybe just different).

WSL

The curl that @GunnarFarneback suggested is successful in WSL and
Powershell:

I can even access on Chrome to the page that https://pkg.julialang.org/registries redirects to, and it forwards me directly to the EU server.

Any help?
