Attempting to download management packs from the solutions catalog in VCF Operations configured with HTTP/HTTPS proxy server results in a download failure.
Fetching catalog metadata, images, and access tokens works successfully, but downloading the EULA file and the actual management pack content fails with a timeout.
Timeout error messages are observed in the /var/log/vrlcm/vmware_vrlcm.log file on the Fleet Manager node:

VCF Operations 9.0.2
The VCF solutions catalog has migrated its backend content delivery storage from AWS S3 to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) storage.
Due to missing GCP host (https://storage.googleapis.com/) in the Fleet Management node's proxy whitelist, the outbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic to download the content is blocked, resulting in the connection timeouts.
To resolve this issue, the new GCP storage URL must be added to the proxy whitelist configuration in the Fleet Management node.
