Let me add that I duplicated the experience in post #14 - it is not possible to directly open the URL in my browser - but I also duplicated the experience in post #15 - Stata used the URL to install cmp.

That works because Stata tries to open a particular file within the directory to which the URL refers. The server apparently does not support browsing arbitrary directories.

The instructions I posted work for me:

. net install cmp, replace from(https://raw.github.com/droodman/cmp/v8.7.4)
checking cmp consistency and verifying not already installed...
all files already exist and are up to date.

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. I'll check why this happened on my side.
