Android SDK Manager gives "Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml" error when selecting repository

Question

I'm trying to install a platform but when I open Android Manager then I click Available Software then select the https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml repository

I get this error:

Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

I have also tried downloading by clicking on force "http:" for all "https:" downloads on settings panel but it still doesn't help.

I'm working on Windows Vista.

In Mac OS X, the solution is creating the file androidtool.cfg in our user .android folder and then add this line. Sure it is working also for Linux

sdkman.force.http=true

I hope that helps!
