I have still the problem but I think I find the cause, I think that the proxy is used without the credentials information.

I set the proxy configuration as following: $ export http_proxy=http://user:pass@proxy:8080 and the error is:

Remote Theme: Using theme blackrockdigital/startbootstrap-clean-blog-jekyll
jekyll 3.8.5 | Error:  407 "authenticationrequired"

The Net documentation is clear:

Net::HTTP will automatically create a proxy from the http_proxy environment variable if it is present.
See ::new for further details and examples such as proxies that require a username and password.
If the proxy requires authentication you must supply it by hand.

Source: https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.4.2/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html#method-c-new

I'm not a ruby developper but I think that to be compatible with authenticated proxies the following code must handle external proxy autothentification ?

jekyll-remote-theme/lib/jekyll-remote-theme/downloader.rb

Line 42 in a3c6bc4

Net::HTTP.start(zip_url.host, zip_url.port, :use_ssl => true) do |http|

Class: Net::HTTP (Ruby 2.4.2)

Class : Net::HTTP - Ruby 2.4.2
