Hi Gisbert,
thanks for your suggestion. It seems I will have to look into local mirroring
solutions after all.

Same problem here. It has been reported before to be a major nuisance if you're
working in an environment with a need for security and data protection.
Unfortunately, it seems it has been decided to go for this regression of
functionality.
In our case we managed to circumnavigate the problem by building a local CRAN
mirror inside our firewall using the open source Nexus repository. Seems a bit
overkill (given that wininet has done the trick nicely up to now), but at least
it works.
HTH.
