Steps to reproduce issue

On a fresh vagrant box "ubuntu/xenial64" with git and cmake 3.10.2 installed, follow the installation instructions on https://github.com/ros2/ros2/wiki/Linux-Development-Setup

The box is using a cntlm proxy on the host.

Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"

  config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
      v.name = "Ubuntu_ecal5"
      v.memory = 2048
  end

  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-proxyconf")
    config.proxy.http = "http://10.0.2.2:3128"  
    config.proxy.https = "http://10.0.2.2:3128"  
    config.proxy.no_proxy = "localhost,127.0.0.1"  
  end

  #set up keyboard layout (de)
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "sed -ie '/^XKBLAYOUT=/s/\".*\"/\"de\"/' /etc/default/keyboard && udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change"

Additional information

Using curl on the commandline to download https://github.com/curl/curl/releases/download/curl-7_57_0/curl-7.57.0.tar.gz works without problem, so I wouldn't expect the problem to be an issue with the installed version of curl.

[kutschkem]

The problem is apparently with cmake: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17240 I will try if the build works with cmake 3.7.2, and report back. If it turns out that this is the issue, maybe changing the downloads from https to http will help.

[wjwwood]

Interesting, we're using cmake 3.10.x (not sure of the patch version) on our Windows CI and maybe our macOS CI machines too (you mentioned you're using 3.10.2 above). Does this only affect linux on such a high version of cmake?

[mikaelarguedas]

IIRC we use 3.10.2 on both MacOS and Windows

[kutschkem]

It affects people behind a proxy, not sure if it is OS-specific.

[kutschkem]

This bug report looks like it affects Windows too, but I'm not 100% sure it's the same issue.: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17592

[kutschkem]

By the way, building with cmake 3.7.2 seemed to work.

[kutschkem]

The mistake was that I needed to build CMake with SSL support

set -e

sudo apt-get -y install openssl libssl-dev

# download cmake
version=3.10
build=2
mkdir ~/temp
cd ~/temp
wget https://cmake.org/files/v$version/cmake-$version.$build.tar.gz
tar -xzvf cmake-$version.$build.tar.gz
cd cmake-$version.$build/

# build cmake
./bootstrap -- -DCMAKE_USE_OPENSSL=ON
make -j2
sudo make install

Now the downloads work. Sadly this was not well documented on the side of cmake :-(

@kutschkem ran into this same issue. Thank you for documenting the solution.
