Installation behind proxy with modified HTTP headers


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:

Thanks.
