I tried setting, export http_proxy=http://<user>:<password>@host:port

But git clone failed!

$git clone http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git git
clone http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/dilipm/bin/linux-2.6/.git/
fatal:
http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/info/refs
download error - The requested file was not found

What may the problem?  How can debug....


PS: wget works ...

Works for me:
$ git version
git version 1.6.0.2.1172.ga5ed0

I set in the Environment Variables panel:

Variable          Value
http_proxy      http://ip_of_my_proxy

Upgrade the OS ,which in turn upgraded the libs...
