Unable to clone using Git over HTTP
-

Question
I am behind a proxy that does not allow the use of git://. So I need to checkout using git over http. For this, I have already set my proxy in git using,
git config --global http.proxy http://172.30.0.16:3128
However, I am able to clone only a few repos, while on others I am getting an error. For example:
git clone http://github.com/jcnetdev/yubnub.git
works perfectly fine, while
https://github.com/ferhatelmas/InterviewStreet.git
this returns the following error
Cloning into InterviewStreet...
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
On running
git clone http://anongit.kde.org/calligra
I get the following error
Cloning into calligra...
error: The requested URL returned error: 502 while accessing http://anongit.kde.org/calligra/info/refs
Can you please help me.
Solution
I found out that the problem was with the KDE git hosting which had only partial HTTP support.
OTHER TIPS
Reinstalling git solved the problem for me for the same issue
