Hi all,
I work from a Windows 11 environment behind a firewall, and I require proxy
settings to reach the (private) R package repository I work with.
Using R 4.4 I used to set the environment variable "https_proxy" which led
to e.g. "install.packages()" to work just fine.
Maybe also try some of the other variables mentioned in
https://curl.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-env.html
That documentation mentions that 'http_proxy' is used for 'https://'
addresses. Is that variable also set?
I could also be that the proxy requires authentication with wininet this
is often automatically done (I believe that was de default before R4.5).
However, that doesn't explain why `method="curl"` would work. In that
case you could try to set the proxy to `http_proxy=":@yourproxy"`.
HTH,
Jan
