Wait, if I download a fresh image it starts downloading yet more stuff? (I can't try it now as I am on FUP-constrained mobile connection.)

I thought that images are supposed to be self contained and stuff like this should be delegated to CI that builds the image or let the user do it manually on top of Pharo-Minimal/Pharo-Bootstrap.

I think it can still��establish��connection and forward packets (I think), it can simply let the connection through directly or it can fail to connect (which is the case above).

They are indeed, but then again so is Smalltalk. ;)

Also your traffic is most likely going through proxies of your ISP (who then injects packets with ad trackers ;)).

I've said this before: this can only be developed by someone behind a proxy. Any help would be appreciated. I know it works more or less for plain HTTP, but there are edge cases. There does indeed seem to be a problem with HTTPS, maybe just something small/simple.

That being said, I must say that I do not understand very well how HTTPS proxying might work. I mean, the traffic is by definition encrypted so how can a proxy even do something ? And if there is some way around this, the connection is no longer end-to-end secure. From my point of view, proxies are from last century ;-)
