this isn't a problem with your proxy - git connects to your proxy fine.

The problem is that the info/refs file isn't found at the repo URL you specified.

I think for github repos, you need to put a ".git" behind the url, so you should try cloning from

  http://github.com/rwl/traitsbackendpyjamas.git

instead.
