Any help installing Calibre on Linux behind a firewall would be appreciated.

I'm running the standard Linux Installer command:

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ko...x-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"

This times out with the error:

Code:

2014-12-11 14:57:00 URL:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linux-installer.py [25619/25619] -> "-" [1]
Installing to /opt/calibre
Downloading tarball signature securely...

  File "<string>", line 493, in connect
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 571, in create_connection
    raise err
socket.timeout: timed out

My shell's http_proxy and https_proxy vars are all set and working correctly, and a quick check of of 'proxies = urllib.getproxies()' shows that Python is correctly grabbing the proxies.

Rather, this looks to be some certificate issue.

Examining the Python code returned by github, I see that the installer stalls at grabbing the signature at https://status.calibre-ebook.com/tarball-info/x86_64. I can browse and see this signature if I enter a certificate exception or save the cert and load into FF's server certificates. However, wget shows this:

Code:

$ wget https://status.calibre-ebook.com/tarball-info/x86_64

ERROR: cannot verify status.calibre-ebook.com's certificate, issued by ‘/C=IN/ST=Maharashtra/L=Mumbai/O=calibre/CN=calibre-ebook.com’:
  Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.
To connect to status.calibre-ebook.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

I've used CentOS's KDE System Settings>SSL Preferences to add the PEM, but this doesn't help Python's urllib to grab the signature and tarball at https://status.calibre-ebook.com, with its self-signed cert.

Any fixes to this issue?
