Can not download nuget packages

Question

I'm getting the following error:

WARNING: The ServicePointManager does not support proxies with the https scheme.

This started happening randomly. I'm not behind a proxy, and restarting did not fix anything.

Answer 1

I had the following in my machine.config file:

<system.net>
<defaultProxy
                enabled = "true"
                useDefaultCredentials = "true">
<proxy autoDetect="false" bypassonlocal="false" proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888" usesystemdefault="false" />
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>

This was causing the issue. Must have been leftover from a fiddler crash.
