STM32CUBEMX 4.9.0 Updater check fails during access to HTTP Server

I have installed STM32CUBEMX 4.9.0. on my Win7 PC. Using Help/Install New Libraries I can download and install for example Firmware Package for Family STM32F4. However, Help/Check for Updates (or the Check button in the New Libraries Manager pane) produces an error with the Connection to HTTP Server green progress bar stopped at about 50% and the pop up message ''Error during Access to HTTP Server. Please check Proxy ...''

I am using the Use System Proxy Parameters setting but have also tried a manual configuration that works OK with Rowley CrossWorks IDE. Pressing the Check connection button always brings up a green tick regardless of the Proxy Server Type radio button setting.

Is this a CubeMX problem? Any advice please?

Hi John,

I have installed the cubeMx 4.9.0 and I have updated many packages with no problem.

Do you use credential sharing? I suspect that the problem is related to your proxy settings.

Best regards

Hi thanks for your response. I work in a secure commercial environment so it's likely the problem is at our end. I just wanted to enquire here first before getting our IT department involved. As I said, the file download works fine but the update check doesn't. I wondered why one part worked when the other doesn't.

Hello John,

Your issue has not been reproduced.

Do you still encounter the error?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,

Thanks for following this up. Today - it works. I am using the Use System Proxy Parameters setting and have made no changes. The PC has been powered down overnight and up again this morning. I can't explain it but for now anyway both ''Check for Updates'' and ''Install New Libraries'' are working!
