I’m running into some problems trying to install packages on a new Mac with julia 0.5.2. Some packages can be installed fine, but others run into problems. The ones that are problematic all seem to use curl to download something via https. I am behind a firewall and, as far as I can tell, have my https proxy set up correctly. I have tried using two different versions of curl, and get different errors with each.
Using the curl that came preinstalled on my computer,
curl 7.51.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.0) libcurl/7.51.0 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.8
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile GSS-API Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz UnixSockets
I get an error like (I have replaced my actual proxy settings with “myproxy.mydomain:myport”):

I am having problems installing HDF5, Rmath, PyCall, Homebrew, and Blosc – all apparently due to this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated.
