Download Fails Because a Proxy Exists on Windows and the MindCluster Ascend Deployer Proxy Is Not Enabled

Symptom

When using MindCluster Ascend Deployer to download a software package on Windows, enable the default system proxy, and download is successful. The download fails after the proxy is deselected.

Cause Analysis

The masking rule set by the Windows proxy may be incorrect. As a result, all websites are blocked.

When parsing masking rules, the urllib component of Python uses semicolons (;) to separate the masking rules. If semicolons (;) are missing or redundant, the segmentation may be abnormal. As a result, all websites are masked.

Solution

To manually modify the proxy settings on Windows, perform the following steps:

1. Click the icon in the lower left corner of the desktop and click .
2. Choose Network & Internet > Proxy.
3. Add or remove a semicolon (;) at the end of the proxy address.

   

4. Click Save, go to the MindCluster Ascend Deployer download page again, enable the proxy, and download the tool again.
   

   For Windows, use the proxy settings provided by MindCluster Ascend Deployer to speed up the download.
