1. Are you using Windows Terminal? Can you follow the Windows guide here and change the starting directory to your home folder?

2. What is the output of curl https://allmanga.to/? Does curl -k https://allmanga.to/ work instead?

[mentalllyAFK]

I'm using git bash; I set this up using the windows guide to begin with. My starting directory for it is $USERPROFILE%

[ykhan21]

The starting directory should be %USERPROFILE%, not $USERPROFILE%.

If it is set up correctly, the starting directory would be your home folder, not /c/WINDOWS/system32, a system folder.

Can you share screenshots of your Git Bash Terminal profile configuration and the output of echo $USERPROFILE.

It looks like your network firewall or antivirus is blocking curl requests to allmanga.to.

See what -k does: https://www.mankier.com/1/curl#-k

You can try to tweak your anti-virus to allow it.
A bandage fix would be to run alias curl='curl -k' before ani-cli.

You could also replace all the curl commands with curl -k in the script at C:\Users\USERNAME\scoop\apps\ani-cli\current\ani-cli.
You'll have to redo this every update.

where did you install curl from? please attach the output of curl --version

[ykhan21]

@71zenith, there have been several issues just like this.
See #1471.

[mentalllyAFK]

I haven't checked the antivirus yet, but curl = 'curl -k' didn't bandage it (didn't try it in the script yet). I've also included the settings screenshot and curl --version for zenith.

Did editing the starting directory work?

[71zenith]

Can you try installing curl from scoop and running

[mentalllyAFK]

Editing the starting directory worked :)
should I still install curl from scoop?

[ykhan21]

Try it to check if it solves your problem.

To be sure that curl is used from scoop instead of Git Bash, which curl should provide a scoop path.
