Hello Everyone,
I recently seem to have developed problems fetching from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git. The error is simply:
error: Failed connect to www.kernel.org:80; Connection refused
while accessing http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
I looked around and discovered that perhaps the URL had changed via
[git.kernel.org][] so I went ahead and changed the URL and still get
the error.
error: Failed connect to git.kernel.org:80; Connection refused
while accessing http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
What could be going on here? I can't pull from `git://` as I'm behind
a firewall.
Thanks in advance!

You may need to use your proxy, and you (seem to) need to set the environment variable 'http_proxy="http://10.0.0.1:3128"' to point to your proxy. Google will take you from there, like http://rip747.wordpress.com/2008/09/12/git-clone-over-http-who-knew/ Andreas ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I suppose they reconfigured the firewall recently as I never had to set that before and I've tracked git through http for over a year. I ended up setting `http.proxy` in ~/.gitconfig.
