proxy on windows #288

Closed reyqn closed 2 years ago

reyqn commented 3 years ago

Since 0.8, choosenim uses puppy for downloads on windows, and because puppy doesn't support proxies, I can't make choosenim work behind a proxy on windows. Is there something I'm missing?

Recent Puppy releases make use of WINHTTP_ACCESS_TYPE_AUTOMATIC_PROXY and no longer use the COM API for HTTP. Perhaps proxies on Windows work now?

Sadly I can't try right now because the issue was behind my corporate proxy, and nim exes being sometimes detected as a virus, my IT department told me to stop using it... I guess this should fix it, and this is probably a puppy issue anyways, so I'll close this.
