UriFormatException output when interacting with a Git server

John Chesshir· Mar 22, 2018, 16:40 UTC · lore

I'm getting this error on a fresh install of git version 2.16.2.windows.1:

fatal: UriFormatException encountered.
   queryUrl

See this post I found, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48775400/git-fatal-uriformatexception-encountered-actualurl for more details.  Note that the latest comments are mine, and describe the conditions on which I first saw the problem.  I'll warn you, it's weird.

Thank you, John Chesshir

P.S.  I also found this older post, which appears related, but has clearly been fixed: https://superuser.com/questions/1114193/when-cloning-on-with-git-bash-on-windows-getting-fatal-uriformatexception-enco.  Include just in case that helps get closer to the latest problem.

Thank you for posting this report.

I would like to ask for more information, though. Ideally, open a bug report at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/new which has a template to fill out the most important information.

In particular, I would like to know

- what command you ran, and
- whether you have a reliable reproducer

If this is a bug in Git (or more likely in Git Credential Manager, judging by the error message), you are more likely to receive assistance in fixing that bug on the special-purpose bug tracker on GitHub.

Ciao, Johannes
