Hello,
When I clone a repository, I get an error from git:

git clone http://192.168.0.18:8080/test test_Gerrit Clonage dans 'test_Gerrit'... remote: Counting objects: 25106, done remote: Finding sources: 100% (25106/25106) error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200iB | 8.12 MiB/s fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

The repo has some "big" zip files commited inside. I use fedora 19 64 bits and git version is 1.8.3.1.

Best regards,
YC

curl code 56 is a receive error (CURLE_RECV_ERROR). It sounds like you're encountering some sort of network error or broken proxy. Does cloning this repository over the git protocol or SSH work, or can you try it over https (to avoid the proxy)?

Re: Problem while cloning a git repo

Hello,

When I perform the git clone via git, it works. The problem is only happening via http. I tried to play with http.postBuffer and I set this parameter to it's maximum (a little bit before a git clone triggered a memory alloc problem) and I see that something big is trying to be downloaded. But I don't see such a big file in my history of commits. The maximum one seems to be around 50 Mo ...

Please keep the list in CC.

http.postBuffer doesn't affect clones, only pushes, so that isn't relevant here. You're experiencing something that is dropping the connection over HTTP. So you either have a bad proxy, or something else is causing the connection to be dropped. Since it's only over HTTP, I suspect it's the former.

Do you have HTTPS, and if so, does it work if you try to clone over that?

Re: Problem while cloning a git repo

I am not able to clone via https because gerrit doesn't propose this way 
of cloning.
When I clone via http, I see that git is starting the download of objects:
remote: Counting objects: 256, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (256/256)
Receiving objects: 46% ... (this part always fails at 46 %).
So, I think that the proxy part is not a problem (there is no proxy set 
here).
If I set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 before cloning, I've got the following error:
* Problem (2) in the Chunked-Encoded data
* Closing connection 1

Re: Problem while cloning a git repo

When I clone a git repo from github (via https), I've no problems. It looks like that the problem is only related to my "special" repo with big zip commited inside.
