Hey,
I just removed my 1.5.3 julia to install the new 1.6 on a window machine behind a proxy.
For some reasons Pkg cannot download artifacts anymore:
```julia
(@v1.6) pkg> add Distributions
Updating registry at `C:\Users\u009192\.julia\registries\General`
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`
Resolving package versions...
Downloading artifact: Rmath
Downloading [>] 0.0 %
```
It hangs and never stop.
I setted up my `.curlrc` so that curl works correctly under my proxy:
```julia
julia> run(`curl https://google.com`)
--ssl-no-revoke --insecure"
```
I am able to make `Base.download` work, but not for https:
```julia
julia> Base.download("google.com")
"C:\\Users\\XXX\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\jl_D511.tmp"
julia> Base.download("https://google.com")
ERROR: HTTP/1.0 200 Connection established (schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: Unknown error (0x80092012)) while requesting https://google.com
Stacktrace:
[Very long stacktrace, the same one.]
julia>
```
Moreover, I tried DebugArtifacts and the same thing occurs:
```julia
julia> using DebugArtifacts
julia> debug_artifact("OpenSpecFun")

```
But with a simple run of curl, everything is still OK.
```julia
julia> run(`curl https://google.com`)

The document has moved

Process(`curl https://google.com`, ProcessExited(0))

```
**How can i tell the libcurl that is inside julia to respond to my `.curlrc` ?**
**Can i pass directly some parameters (the same i passed in my `.curlrc` to Julia’s libcurl ? How ?**

Libcurl does not have any way to read `.curlrc` files — those files only apply to the command-line tool, not the library. See [this StackOverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/3712594/659248) by the author of curl and libcurl. Have you tried setting `export JULIA_SSL_NO_VERIFY=**` in the shell?

I used environnement variables as described in this post [Julia 1.6 libcurl firewall download issue: Windows Schannel certificate revocation check failure - #17 by lrnv](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-1-6-new-package-manager-curl-firewall-problems/58021/17) and it finally worked.
