Comment 3 for bug 1996896

Hi Olivier, thanks having a look at this.
Yes I've noticed that not all locations are accessible using the (our) proxy (already realized it in earlier use cases), but that's the nature of a proxy, that it often allows only selective access to the 'outside'.

But I think this must not lead to a crash and should be caught properly, to make installations (esp. in enterprise environments) more robust, no?!

Usually I do not need a proxy at all in my environment - it was just a test, trying to recreated a different situation (LP#1996006 and LP#1996006 - and I think that this could be related, but since I'm unsure, I've created this separate bug).
