Git not working through proxy

[gerald626]

My first post didn't work, let's try this a second time. I'm getting the following problem. Proxy environment variables are correct.


user@server:~# git clone git://git.kali.org/live-build-config.git
Cloning into 'live-build-config'...
fatal: unable to connect to git.kali.org:
git.kali.org [0: 208.88.127.102]: errno=Network is unreachable

However if I change the URL from git:// to http:// I get this:


user@server:~# git clone http://git.kali.org/live-build-config.git
Cloning into 'live-build-config'...
fatal: http://git.kali.org/live-build-config.git/info/refs
not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

I suspect that my proxy just doesn't like git:// links, and that the git repository isn't configured for http downloads. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Perhaps your firewall is blocking outbound git traffic. Works for us.

You're right, it's blocking port 9418, and the chance of IT opening it up is slim to none. Any chance of you folks allowing http:// as well as git://?
