Hi,

Is there plan to allow proxy authentication and http/webdav remote
repository authentication ?
It seem that's it's quiet non-working for now.

Thanks

search the list archives for more detail, but

  export http_proxy=http://my.proxy.tld:8080/
  git foo

should work. Have you tried embedding auth details in the url? Try
http://user:pass@my.proxy.tld:8080/

cheers,

You can use .netrc for HTTP auth credentials, but I don't believe that
handles proxy authentication.

Yes it works if you have a password without any strange characters
like @ : and so
