Pkg.update() in V0.5.0

General Usage
1

I installed V0.5.0 of Julia. When I run a Pkg.Update() I get:

Note that I also have 0.4.6 install and do not get this error. I can add packages and update, etc.

julia> Pkg.update()

Do you have any proxy-related environment variables set?

There are no environment variables set. A couple other details.

1.) Julia 0.4.6 works fine
2.) I am using Windows 10
3.) git works OK otherwise.
4.) I setup Julia running in a VM (windows 10) on the same machine and Pkg.update() worked.

One other note:

I brought my laptop home and am now able to update packages, etc. It is definitely something to do with the network at the university lab. I have to log into a Windows Domain. There could be some some firewall policy that trickles down. When I get back in I will try the latest nightly to see if it is different.

The fact that 0.4.3 works means there is some sort of regression in 0.5.0
