Trouble cloning numpy Github repo over HTTP

Hi, I'm behind a firewall that doesn't allow me to use the git protocol so I can't use the git:// URL. I see the following problem: $ git clone http://github.com/numpy/numpy.git numpy Initialized empty Git repository in /home/scott/external_repos/numpy/.git/ error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 417 I never have trouble cloning other repos off of Github over HTTP. See http://support.github.com/discussions/repos/4323-error-rpc-failed-result22-h... Does anyone else see this problem? Thanks, Scott

HTTP code 417 is: *417 - Expectation Failed* The expectation given in the Expect request-header could not be fulfilled by the server. Because of this, I suspect it has something to do with the http proxy, but given that you aren't having issues with other repos, I am not sure exactly how that can be the case. An incorrectly configured proxy should have the same issue with other http-based repos... Ben Root

Hello Scott, If you're allowed access to arbitrary https urls, try: git clone https://github.com/numpy/numpy.git numpy -- Aaron On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 03:15, Scott Sinclair <scott.sinclair.za@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Aaron. I'm pretty sure I tried that and failed, but I'm at home now (no proxy) but will try again tomorrow. Looks like our proxy might be at fault. Cheers, Scott

For what it's worth, someone posted a work-around at http://support.github.com/discussions/repos/4323-error-rpc-failed-result22-h... that works for me.. Cheers, Scott
