Vcpkg: WinHttpSendRequest() failed: 12002

I have some problems downloading powershell core. Shouldn't we use aria?

I confirm, only I had no error, and the process seemed to hang

@ras0219-msft
and Yes, why boot under Windows? system powershell is still in use

[cenit]

there are some bugs in the system powershell that pwsh-core should fix.
Recently errors with PROXY are becoming more and more common during vcpkg usage, I'd move completely to aria, is there any regression in doing so? (it seems anyway that normal windows commands have problems recently with proxy anyway)

I do not mind, but then you need to isolate the system built-in powershell

[martin-s]

IMHO, this is a never-ending story with no happy end. Proxy support as well as file protocol worked in the past but are broken in current versions. The move to WinApi was one regression, the move to aria2 the next one.
See my issues #2928, #3230, #5657.

Before talking about the issue of downloading, it is just plainly annoying that pwsh.exe in the PATH is ignored. Why?

[Voskrese]

copy pwsh.exe powershell.exe

I noticed that not all ports are running pwsh
probably somewhere in the scripts clearly indicate the name

@ras0219-msft is it ok that vcpkg is still broken when installed behind a proxy?

A clean vcpkg installation on windows fails to download powershell, 7-zip and nuget just at the beginning, when installing your first library.

Subsequent downloads are working (they still often fail for no apparent reason at all) , the first three nope and I have to download them manually from a browser and move them inside the vcpkg/downloads folder.
I still didn't inspect why, but these downloads are done in a different way (broken, it seems), because they are totally not tested for proxy support. Also the fact that proxy support is so weak that usually I prefer to do the "download-only" part on the WSL side is depressing (same pc, same proxy, somehow the linux part is more proxy resilient), so that I don't fear of finding the update stopped because one of the library failed to download (never happened when not using proxy).

Just to let you know, vcpkg on windows is the only program that gives me any problem with "dropped internet connection", so i'd not declare our proxy as guilty. Also, even when vcpkg is failing repeatedly, any browser installed can download the tar.gz with no problem, and as I said also the WSL version can, without any annoyance.

Please fix it. For any enterprise adoption of vcpkg, a proper proxy support is a deal breaker. It's still far from being here.

We have exactly the same issue in our organisation. Having looked at it for a couple of hours this morning and reading all the associated issues and links, I have found that for us it is an I.T. problem more than anything that can be resolved in code.

The link that solved our problem was provided in issue #4729.
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/netgeeks/2018/06/19/winhttp-proxy-settings-deployed-by-gpo/

This states that there are two proxy mechanisms in Windows.

• Internet Settings Control Panel
• WinHTTP Windows Services

VcPkg is now affected by both.
The former (which requires you to set the 'HTTP_PROXY' and 'HTTPS_PROXY' variables) is used when downloading packages.
The later is used by the WinHTTP API, which VcPkg now uses to download the tools such as PowerShell Core, 7Zip, Nuget etc....

In our organisation the Control Panel proxy settings are defined by processing of a PAC file, set by GPO. WinHTTP proxy settings were not being set from GPO and were undefined. As the Control Panel proxy settings are defined by a PAC file you can not use the standard command below to import them:

netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie

I had to manually download the PAC file, open it and then set the proxy settings:

netsh winhttp set proxy : "

After I had done this, defining the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables allowed a fresh installation of VcPkg to download the tools and packages.

I will be getting our I.T. department to correctly set the WinHttp proxy settings using GPO.

[cenit]

thanks for your investigation. I'll try to reproduce your solution in our environment and I'll get in touch with our IT dept in case the fix might apply to us also!

[cenit]

~I tried to apply winhttp proxy using netsh.~
~Unfortunately I still have the same problem for the initial PowerShell download:~

WinHttpQueryDataAvailable() failed: 12002

~will continue my investigation, with a very low priority~

edit: a reboot was necessary!

[cenit]

also, if this is a machine configuration which is not possible to dynamically change through the pac file, then I think it's better to avoid setting this up, otherwise when you are not behind the proxy everything is broken. Isn't it better to move those files to another download mechanism, so that winhttp setup is not required? @ras0219-msft

[ndiayemady]

disable antivirus
download the missing file and copy to the destination folder then try again

[cenit]

9372 should fix also this issue. Will report after investigation if it can be closed

[chadyuinvivo]

@cenit unfortunately, still not working for me.

I pulled the latest changes for vcpkg as shown in #9372 but no luck yet unfortunately, still getting the same error.

I am having the same issue while using my workstation beahind the company proxy.
Is there any news about this problem? Is there a workaround?

[reza2082]

I had the same problem
My problem was solved by closing Kaspersky Anti-Virus
