  Can you send me a list of your net-fetch configuration settings and
  product names + versionnumbers of your proxy and http server?

  Are you willing to test another version of net-fetch that
  prints debug information, so that we can fix the proxy issue
  for your proxy server too?

  Thanks, Marcel
