Codex Cloud has severe issues with hex.pm (Elixir package manager)

I think I finally figured out what’s causing codex to not work with hex.pm
The issue is with httpc that it uses to connect to hex. 2 issues here:
- Missing certificates, fix with
HEX_CACERTS_PATH=/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/envoy-mitmproxy-ca-cert.crt - httpc sends empty headers (like
Te:) which envoy chokes on. Either add a mitm proxy that strips all empty headers before forwarding to the local proxy, OR patchhttpcerlang code to not send empty headers. That seems to fix it
