Unable to search the repo #3563

Are you using, or behind, a proxy or something else that intercepts your network connection to the Chocolatey Community Repository? Are you able to get to the repository in the browser? |
Yes we are behind a proxy. I can get to everything with the browser. I even copied the URL that failed into the browser and got some ATOM file as a response. This is the contents of that file:

Have you tried it without the proxy? 99 times out of 100, the proxy is the issue. |
Unfortunately no. That kind of defeats the purpose of having the proxy and my company does not let us bypass the proxy. This problem is most likely being caused by the fact that search functions are not using the proxy, but the download/install functions are using the proxy. |
Here is the strange thing. I've tried to recreate this on 2 different machines today that I used the other day without making any changes and this problem is no longer occurring. |
As I mentioned, 99 times out of 100 the proxy is the issue.
The request to try it without the proxy was top determine if it was the problem. Remove each thing in the way between Chocolatey CLI and the Community Repository to see which one makes it work.
Where did you determine that was happening? But if it were the case, why did it start working when nothing in Chocolatey CLI changed? If nobody else was reporting issues with the Chocolatey Community Repository then it sounds like the issue was isolated to your environment. Having a proxy between the connection always makes me suspicious. There is no evidence that there is anything wrong with Chocolatey CLI or the Chocolatey Community Repository, so the natural conclusion would be related to the proxy. Given the experience when proxies are involved, it's the likely culprit.
When proxies are involved, nothing surprises me. I'm going to go ahead and close this now. |
