We are behind a corporate firewall, so the first thing I do with new Drupal 7 is to manually download, unzip, & use Drush to enable the http_proxy module ($ drush en http_proxy.) Once that is configured, I can then run cron, do drush dl xxxx modules etc. without firewall issues.
For my first Drupal 8 venture, I updated to Drush 8.1.10; downloaded the Drupal 8 gzip file from the http_proxy project, then copied & unzipped the file to /modules/contrib/http_proxy/ > on my server.
When I try to enable the http_proxy contrib module, I get the following loop -- never get the module enabled.
Is there some special trick with Drupal 8 for manual module installation?
$ pwd
/apps/drupal-sites/TEMS/modules/contrib
$ cls
[drupal@drupaldev1 contrib]$ drush --version
Drush Version : 8.1.10
$ pwd
/apps/drupal-sites/TEMS/modules/contrib
$ ll -R
