Git proxy failure need asistance

Question

I have this error I cannot connect to the proxy I spend 4-5 hours fiddling with the web looking for clues but I cannot resolve this issue..

I am using windows azure and I am having only proxy problem.

My commands are as follows:

1.Connecting with proxy

git config --global http.proxy http://<username>:<password>@mapevent.azurewebsites.net:443

2.Clone Error

git clone https://<username>@mapevent.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/mapevent.git

Cloning into 'mapevent' ...

fatal: unable to access 'https://<username>@mapevent.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/mapevent.git/': Recv failure: Connection was reset

---

I have also tried with port 8080 but says "cannot resolve" and use push but all seem to fail.

I am new to Git and I am not progressing :(

Please help me, I have a project to complete in the next few weeks.

It seems that http://mapevent.azurewebsites.net/ doesn't need a proxy. It is part of the remote origin url which you want to clone, but the page "How to Deploy an Azure Web Site" doesn't mention "proxy" at all. Not does the page using Git.

So make sure to remove the proxy, and try to clone:

git config --global --unset-all http.proxy

If you were to need a proxy to access to internet, you should already have HTTP_PROXY (and HTTPS_PROXY) environment variables in place (as I mention in "could not resolve host github.com error while cloning remote repository in git").

But that proxy url (should you actually use one) would certainly not be '<username>:<password>@mapevent.azurewebsites.net:443': that is part of the url you want to clone.
