问题
I recently reinstalled Netbeans IDE on my Windows 10 PC in order to restore some unrelated configurations. When I tried checking for new plugins in order to be able to download the Sakila sample database, I get this error.
I've tested the connection on both No Proxy and Use Proxy Settings, and both connection tests seem to end succesfully.
I have allowed Netbeans through my firewall, but this has changed nothing either.
I haven't touched my proxy configuration, so it's on default (autodetect). Switching the autodetect off doesn't change anything, either, no matter what proxy config i have on Netbeans.
Here's part of my log file that might be helpful:

回答1:
Something that worked for me was changing the "http:" to "https:" in the update urls.
I.E. Change "http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/8.0.2/uc/final/distribution/catalog.xml.gz" to "https://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/8.0.2/uc/final/distribution/catalog.xml.gz"
No idea why that makes it work on my end. I'm running Linux Mint 19.1.
