Research direction

Start with the linked VMware knowledge-base article and the VCF Download Tool version 9.0.1.0 reference, then inspect how the Holodeck offline depot OVA packages the tool. Done means the proxy-configured metadata download command succeeds with the updated tool available in the offline depot OVA.
