ISO download fails with proxy: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond

[SriharshaAngadi]

/kind bug

What happened:

Trying to start minikube with command as :
C:>minikube start --docker-env="HTTP_PROXY=http://XXXX/YYY" \ --docker-env="HTTPS_PROXY=http://XXX/YYY" --alsologtostderr
over windows with corporate proxy, with Virtual box VM. It fails to start with the following error (Attached):
ErrorWithoutStdErrorLog.txt
ErrorWithStdErrorLog.txt

I have also set the environment variables
Proxy is present in the form of .PAC file
Used the IP from PAC file , still it does not work
What you expected to happen:
MiniKube should have started.
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Start Mini kube with the below command:
C:>minikube start --docker-env="HTTP_PROXY=http://XXXX/YYY.pac" \ --docker-env="HTTPS_PROXY=http://XXX/YYY.pac" --alsologtostderr

Anything else we need to know?:
Minikube starts fine without corporate proxy

Does it work this way?

minikube start --docker-env http_proxy=http://192.168.99.1:3128 --docker-env https_proxy=http://192.168.99.1:3128 --docker-env no_proxy=192.168.99.0/24

@ErikWegner No, and I think that's because there are some initial things that minikube needs to download in order to make the machine itself - the docker-env variables are for the machine that minikube makes.

The following command does not work behind an NTLM-authenticating proxy, either:

minikube get-k8s-versions

minikube does not appear to use the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY Windows environment variables.

Docker for Windows works with Fiddler if you set Fiddler to listen to remote traffic (check your Windows firewall first!) and give Docker for Windows your PC's IP address as the proxy.

[ErikWegner]

Maybe privoxy can be your solution. It can be setup to add the authorization headers for an upstream proxy.

{ +add-header{Proxy-Authorization: Basic YWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuc2VzYW1l} }
.*

Then you can point your HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY to your locally running instance: HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:3128.

Privoxy can also listen to the virtual box interface on 192.168.99.1 to allow your virtual machine to access remote resources.

Download cmder, type bash to switch to bash
export http_proxy and https_proxy and run minikube start, it worked for me.

I am trying out minikube on Windows 10 Professional behind a corporate proxy, so far without luck. I have tried using CNTLM for windows, but turns out unless minikube itself uses proxy, that's not going to help.
Tried a few things:

1. Tested the proxy itself by manually setting the internet options for iexplorer and it works.
2. Docker CE settings proxy: works fine and can download from docker.io after setting proxy.
3. Just the basic get-k8s-versions doesn't work with minikube in this environment.
4. Issuing a wget https://storage.googleapis.com/..... (the same Get command that fails with minikube) from a powershell works fine! (as powershell/wget uses iexplore's internet settings)

Also tried wireshark while running "minikube get-k8s-versions" and I can see t is directly going to storage.googleapis.com and not routing it through proxy server at all.

I am lost.. Any help appreciated...
minikube version 0.24.1
Kubectl version 1.4.0
Docker CE version 17.12.0
Windows 10 enterprise

Thanks @jzinedine, that worked for me too!

Thanks @jzinedine. This method worked perfect for me.
