Pkg.update() Pkg.clone() does not work behind corporate firewall

General Usage
1

In older versions of R install.packages used to not work behind corporate firewalls unless you run setinternet2(). What the function setinternet2() does is that it tells install.packages to use the Internet Explorer proxy settings (whatever that means).

In Julia I am running into the same problem, where Pkg.add usually works but Pkg.clone and Pkg.update doesn’t. Can’t the latter two be made to follow the internet access method of Pkg.add?

I think Pkg.add defaults to cloning via https. Did you try Pkg.clone using the https url of a repository? Might be that you used the SSH option (i.e. git@github.com:User/Package.jl.git)
