Error: ssl network error after installing haxe 4.0.0-rc.2

[zhaoterryy]

Getting ssl network error when trying to install libraries behind a proxy. Reverting to Haxe 3.4.7 works fine.

$> haxelib install all
Loading info about the required libraries
Error: ssl network error

Note that when you replace the haxelib.exe binary in 4.0rc2 with the one from 3.4.7 everything works fine.

@andyli something neko-related maybe ?

I cannot reproduce that with the haxe 4.0.0-rc.2 Windows 64-bit installer.

Here are the md5 hashes of haxelib.exe and neko.exe, just to make sure we're testing the same thing.

C:\Users\Andy>certUtil -hashfile C:\HaxeToolkit\haxe\haxelib.exe md5
MD5 hash of C:\HaxeToolkit\haxe\haxelib.exe:

C:\Users\Andy>certUtil -hashfile C:\HaxeToolkit\neko\neko.exe md5
MD5 hash of C:\HaxeToolkit\neko\neko.exe:

Oh, wait, I missed the detail that you're using a proxy.
How did you config the proxy? I have never used one before.

BTW, the reason 3.4.7's haxelib.exe works most likely is because it use lib.haxe.org without https. The newer haxelib use https by default.

[BigPhilCombo]

That makes sense, in order to get npm to work we need to set strict-ssl to false. Perhaps haxelib needs a similar flag.

I met same situation. I'm behind proxy server, too. Anyway, I want to test 4.0.0rc2 with CJK support, so I use trick. Install 4.0 haxelib, Use 3.0 haxelib binary when you install/update library, then back to 4.0 haxelib binary. - haxelib.exe enough - It works fine for me. ( It works great open-fl + flash / html5 backend with Korean, but not neko backend. While CJK support working, I think this trick works)

We should add an option to haxelib (either with command parameter or maybe better env var) to disable https (or disable SSL cert check)
