title: Redis CLI seems to hang forever on Windows Bash
body: <p>I am working with the <code>3.2.100</code> Redis for Windows release, whose portable code I downloaded from <a href="https://github.com/MicrosoftArchive/redis/releases" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this GitHub page</a>.
  I can successfully start the Redis server from a bash using <code>./redis-server</code>, which generates this output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[12712] 18 Feb 17:54:29.328 # Server started, Redis version 3.2.100
  [12712] 18 Feb 17:54:29.328 * DB loaded from disk: 0.000 seconds
  [12712] 18 Feb 17:54:29.328 * The server is now ready to accept connections on port 6379
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From the <code>.conf</code> files I can see that <code>127.0.0.1</code> is being bound as the IP address.  Yet, when I open another bash window and try to open a CLI connection, it just hangs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>./redis-cli
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is no output from the above, but rather the bash console just advances to the next line, and sits there.</p>
  
  <p>For background, I am working in a fairly controlled environment, behind a proxy.  But, I don't see how that would affect something entirely on my local machine.  The ultimate goal would be to use Redis from a Java project, but getting things to work from the command line seems like a good prerequisite.</p>
