[Numpy-discussion] Trouble cloning numpy Github repo over HTTP

[Scott Sinclair]

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-http-code-411

Does anyone else see this problem?

Thanks,
Scott
