I am using Windows 10 Home 1803. My machine is using the en-jam locale. When attempting to run
vcpkg install curl:x64-windows, it gets to downloading strawberryperl then states that:
Failed. Status: 6;"Couldn't resolve host name"
More specifically:

Downloading http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.24.1.1/strawberry-perl-5.24.1.1-32bit-portable.zip... Failed. Status: 6;"Couldn't resolve host name"
CMake Error at scripts/cmake/vcpkg_download_distfile.cmake:151 (message):

      Failed to download file.
      If you use a proxy, please set the HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY environment
      variables to "https://user:password@your-proxy-ip-address:port/"

Is there anything I can do to get around this?
