Hi,

I’m behind a corporate proxy and SSL Verifications fail ( because they are MITMed ). Outside of Julia I can clone by using the corporate proxy and specifying sslVerify = false in .gitconfig.

But apparently LibGit2 ignores sslVerify and instead expects the user to specify a callback.

I skimmed LibGit2.jl documentation and I see that you can provide a callback but:

1. It needs to be a pointer, I have no idea what I’m doing
2. How do I make Pkg use it anyway

Julia at work would make me happy 🙂  
Thanks !

I am encountering this too, and I noticed the following issue filed: [https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/2122](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/2122)
