Subject: pkg install from forge in windows

Before I start looking at it, does anyone else have any issues with pkg
install forge in Windows (Im running 4.2.0, however it happens in other
versions as well)

If I try to install a forge package say:

pkg install bsltl –forge

I get:

error: pkg: could not download file bsltl-1.1.1.tar.gz from url
http://packages.octave.org/download/bsltl-1.1.1.t
ar.gz
error: called from
    pkg at line 389 column 13

If I run the command repeatedly, it sometimes works ok, more often not

Running on  a linux box, I dont have that issue – it could be some network
settings issue on my windows machine, so anyone else seeing a similar issue?

Manually running commands:
urlwrite('http://packages.octave.org/download/bsltl-1.1.1.tar.gz',
'bsltl-1.1.1.tar.gz')
error: urlwrite: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA
certificates


>From the curl config options, it looks like curl isn’t set to use the native
certificates, and I couldn’t find any in the installed files, so I'll take a
look at getting that verified working for mxe-octave.
