I still can't use Julia 1.6.x

Julia 1.6 corporate firewall
Any news to solve this problem?

I checked your previous posts and the error messages are somehow not so helpful.
So I try again (tried in another thread by someone else) to get a systematic error reproduction.
Lets start with the following lines to indentify, if the right curl lib is loaded:

Could you try the following commands and report output here?

versioninfo()
using Libdl
libcurl = "libcurl-4.dll"
libcurl_handle = dlopen(libcurl)
libcurl_path = dlpath(libcurl_handle)

Good, don’t change anything in your current setup, don’t create a moving target!
Now do the following commands:
Next step is to get some verbose information about your download problem.

Please run the following commands:

cd("c:\\Temp")   #or another folder where you can write to
using Downloads
url = "https://pkg.julialang.org/registries"
open("out.stdout", "w") do sout
    open("out.stderr", "w") do serr
        redirect_stdout(sout) do
            redirect_stderr(serr) do
                Downloads.download(url;verbose=true)
            end
        end
    end
end

Copy&Paste everything from the REPL here and:
This produces the important file out.stderr with all information while downloading the URL.
Copy&Paste all the content of out.stderr here.

Please show us your Internet Options (as a screenshot):

In the windows search enter
Internet properties
or
Internet options
(or similar for your language)
It should show a single application “Internet Properties”.
Open it.

  • Open the “Advanced Tab”
  • Scroll down to SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, … options

Looks good so far. I need some time to do some recherche…

Ok, lets try the most unsecure version by setting the following environment variabel:

Windows CMD:
set JULIA_NO_VERIFY_HOSTS=**
and afterwards in same CMD:
c:\Users\Hermesr\AppData\Local\Programs\Julia-1.6.1\bin\julia.exe

Then try your Pkg installation as you did in the beginning of your problems.

Can you download your proxy script and show it to us?
This may be a security threat and not allowed. Depending on the complexity you are perhaps able to look for the relevant proxy hosts and ports and report them:
http://ecpac/proxy.pac

I assume it is
fproxy2.ecp.elco.co.il:8080
for http and https ?

Or just try the following additional environment variables:

set http_proxy=fproxy2.ecp.elco.co.il:8080
set https_proxy=fproxy2.ecp.elco.co.il:8080

in the above CMD. But the https proxy isn’t clear to be that. This should show up somewhere in the proxy script.

Is this permanent in the configuration of julia 1.6.1?
How to import the packages from Julia 1.5.4 to 1.6.1? Without having to install them one by one?

Nice. At first my thoughts were too complicated.

Now you can try more restricted settings on the environment variable
set JULIA_NO_VERIFY_HOSTS=**
