Error using online installer with proxy
-
Attempting to do a recent maintainence update with the online 'MaintenanceTool', we are encountering a problem getting through the proxy. Previous versions (we used for version 5.4.1) worked fine, but trying to update to 5.4.2 has issues.
After entering the proxy username/password at the prompt, we get the message:
Network Error while downloading 'http://download.qt-project.org/online/qsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml?112598376': Connection closed.
When trying the same update from home (no proxy) everything worked fine.
Suggestions?

I got the same error message, you can see here how I solved it:

http://forum.qt.io/topic/31796/no-default-repositories-in-maintenance-tool/11@belab This didn't work. I do have default repositories, the problem isn't that they're missing. They seem to be there, and to be sure I tried adding a repository as suggested or removing the MaintainenceTool.ini file, but neither worked.
About 2 hours after my post on this, though, something changed. I no longer get the error. Now it just goes back to the proxy user/pass prompt again and again, and doesn't accept the credentials given.
I know the proxy works fine (I'm using it right now to type this) but the tool doesn't seem to work with it.

The solution that finally ended up working for me was to launch MaintenanceTool from the command line as:
MaintenanceTool.exe --proxy --updater --setTempRepository http://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qtNote that using https did not work (same connection closed warning, but for individual files it tried to download rather than the repo manifest). It may also work from the GUI, but I had issues with the GUI forgetting my new repo after I entered it, even without closing MaintenanceTool.
