In 0.6, it was possible to set the protocol for Pkg to git via Pkg.setprotocol!(“git”) , but that functionality has disappeared in 0.7. I’ve grepped around the Pkg code, but I couldn’t find an obvious way to set the protocol. Is there an equivalent in 0.7?

This kind of functionality is required for Pkg to run in environments where SSL connections are intercepted/proxied.

Thanks very much!

Could you open an issue on the Pkg.jl repo about this.
