Codex CLI install script is hosted on chatgpt.com, which is blocked in corporate networks

The official standalone install command is:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
We would like to use this installer instead of the npm package, because npm requires installing Node/npm first.
However, in our corporate environment, chatgpt.com is blocked. Codex CLI itself is approved for use, but the installer cannot be downloaded because it is served from the ChatGPT web domain.
Could OpenAI provide the same installer from an OpenAI developer/tooling domain such as openai.com or developers.openai.com?
This would make the standalone installer usable in corporate environments where Codex CLI is allowed but chatgpt.com is not.
