Its not the proxy, we don't have this. But we have some kind of firewall which seems to work also for https as man in the middle. With our company certificates installed in browser it works.

If I do manually a git (via https) with  "export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1" this helps, but even if I do this before calling bitbake it will not help. Can this set global for the project?

Doesn't the download files stored in a common folder, but there is also some hash, which I can't create manually.
