Hello,<br><br>If I do :<br><br>$ easy_install -U somepackage<br><br>The script will scan the PyPI simple page to look for an egg.<br><br>But if it fails on an url page that is starting with https, and if the user is behind a<br>
proxy that blocks it, it will block there before any egg has a chance to <br>be downloaded.<br><br>I guess a good practice is to avoid https URLs in any metadata,<br>I guess the user can also call easy_install with the direct egg url in that case,<br>
<br>but maybe easy_install could do something particular on https links to avoid <br>this issue, if doable ? Maybe by ordering the reading, to put https ones at the end ?<br>(I don&#39;t know how https failures works when a proxy blocks them)<br>
