Does a regular wget
https://raw.github.com/boostorg/boost/develop/tools/regression/src/regression.pywork?
Does it work with the proxy or without the proxy?

Note.. You can't use git tools with the raw URLs. They are meant to just
read the content of files directly. But you should be able to use web tools
(wget and browsers) with them.
