Subject:	Installation behind proxy with modified HTTP headers
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

I'm installing Cygwin behind a proxy.

From my machine, the only way I can curl to external websites is by 
using the following flags:

curl --insecure --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; 
rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0" --proxy <proxyip>:3128 www.google.com
I have to ignore SSL certificates, modify the user agent HTTP header, 
and specify the proxy server. Is there any way I can specify something 
similar for the Cygwin installation?

I get the following log if I specify only the proxy server (using the 
proxy option) during the installation:
