[quote=“Grant”]I’m behind a proxy and although I have the “http_proxy” and “https_proxy” settings both set to the same thing. Every time I try to list packages to install or packages to upgrade, i get one ore more of the following errors in the console:
Package Control: Error downloading channel. URL error _ssl.c:480: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json.
A month ago, this was working fine for me. Has anything changed to break this behavior on the plugin side, or is there a problem with my company’s proxy?[/quote]
Package Control has switched to using SSL for the default channel for security purposes. Without a secure connection that checks the SSL certificate, it is possible for a man-in-the-middle attack where an attacker could inject arbitrary python code onto your machine via the automatic upgrade mechanism.
Unfortunately, it appears that some proxies have trouble with the SSL connection to my server. From reading online, the best info I can find talks about problems with different versions of OpenSSL talking to each other. I am in the process of migrating the site to a brand new server. Hopefully this will be complete in the next week or so.
