[SOLVED]"The requested URL returned error: 407" while using pacman

pacman worked fine until now. When I try to upgrade with
pacman -Syu

it returns what is written below even though internet works fine without problems(I'm posting from the same system using firefox)
How can I get pacman working again?

Re: [SOLVED]"The requested URL returned error: 407" while using pacman

What did you update? Are you using a proxy?

You can try pacman -Syy --debug which will show the actual url it tries to access. When posting console output, please use the code tags.

I tried to upgrade the system.
I don't use a proxy. My isp uses authentication from the browser, when the browser is authenticated with the username and password, the whole system will be connected to the internet as long as the authentication page is open.

Re: [SOLVED]"The requested URL returned error: 407" while using pacman

My isp uses authentication from the browser, when the browser is authenticated with the username and password, the whole system will be connected to the internet as long as the authentication page is open.

How does this work? Try to download the db with the url from above output from the command line. Check your pacman log for what was in the update after which it stopped working. You can also try another download method for pacman, e.g. wget.

Also you can try to choose another mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

Are you using a proxy?

I finally found the error. Whenever my internet is down, I use a proxy for chromium browser.
I configured the proxy(that uses authentication) in the system and forgot about it.
pacman is working fine now after switching to no proxy. thank you
