I encountered the problem and searched on line without any solutions. So could you please help me on this? First, I have setup the http_proxy as an environment variable. And I can use wget to download the repository page. --- On my FC13 System: Fedora 13 Kernel version: 2.6.33.4-95.fc13.i686.PAE Git version: 1.7.0.1 I tried this command: sudo git clone http://git.gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/image-creator.git got the error messages as follow: Initialized empty Git repository in /home/sylvia/workarea/DEV_TOOLS/test/image-creator/.git/ error: Failed connect to git.gitorious.org:80; Operation now in progress while accessing http://git.gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/image-creator.git/info/refs fatal: HTTP request failed --- On my FC12 I also tried on Fedora 12, same error exist. --- On my Kubuntu: it is working well. System: Kubuntu Kernel version: 2.6.31-21-generic Git version: 1.6.3.3 Seems it is something wrong with Fedora. Can you help me on this? Thanks a lot. BR, Sylvia ``` ## Tay Ray Chuan, 2010-06-01 04:03 Subject: Re: HELP: cannot clone a repository via http_proxy on FC13 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTinyKoH4QiTnIbBQ60sMNZHKqtYejk-t2ygj9naK%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 11:30 AM, Sylvia Liu wrote: > I tried this command: >   sudo git clone > http://git.gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/image-creator.git Probably not related, but why sudo? > got the error messages as follow: >   Initialized empty Git repository in > /home/sylvia/workarea/DEV_TOOLS/test/image-creator/.git/ >   error: Failed connect to git.gitorious.org:80; Operation now in > progress while accessing > http://git.gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/image-creator.git/info/refs > >   fatal: HTTP request failed Can you try $ GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone http://git.gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/image-creator.git and paste the output here? -- Cheers, Ray Chuan ``` ## Sylvia Liu, 2010-06-01 04:30 Subject: Re: HELP: cannot clone a repository via http_proxy on FC13 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTinSTJiUdtWbidlnUkJ2Gh6KczaSu56p3cwSgv5k%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Ray, Thanks a lot. Seems the "sudo" IS the problem, indeed. Without the sudo, it is working. But on Ubuntu, I use sudo all the times, and it still works. Isn't it strange? And as I remembered, while I using FC12 before, it didn't work neither; even without a sudo.... Anyway, it is working. Thanks.

What is your Ubuntu's and FC13 /etc/sudoers file like? ``` ## Sylvia Liu, 2010-06-02 01:18 Subject: Re: HELP: cannot clone a repository via http_proxy on FC13 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTimF_RslttIFQ0rE-Muvy41vQsniZ5fHxJhx8-md%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, My sudoers file seems quite simple.
