Hi,  
I upgraded an old project from julia 0.6 to 0.7. I could resolve most of the deprecations but I ran into the problem that I was using the package HttpServer.jl and that cannot be installed anymore via Pkg. So I tried to install the package HTTP but that gave an error:

I then upgraded to julia 1.2 and tried again but I got the same error.

So how do I solve this? Or is there no installable Http server at this moment?

I can’t reproduce this. It looks to me like something on your system is preventing the package `MbedTLS` to download something that it needs as a dependency. Do you have it somewhere that has restricted permissions? Just for the hell of it you might try `]add MbedTLS`.
