Answer 1

having 2 computers,

number one is my corporate lab-top connected via VPN to our corporate network. That is like being inside the company behind big firewalls and a bunch of routers, with folk, internal and external (even telecom) fiddling around on the network and the firewall, and to reach out, I have to provide credentials such as proxy user and password and even then, sometimes it works and sometimes not.

i.e. I can reach out through the firewall using SVN JSVN MAVEN downlaods, ANT downloads, and I can use git clone http://git... repos.

But I can not do git clone https://git... repo. I this latest case I get this error.

The number two computer on-site with me is my little lab-top from home, nothing special, connected through WAN to the www and getting stuff down with all the mentioned tools above plus git clone https://git... repo works like a sniff without doing something special.

Conclusion: Sitting behind a "somehow managed firewall" is often the reason for troubles. To figure that out, take your little unprotected lab-top and have a www connection from home and if it runs, don't waste the time with your security guys, they will work for weeks unless the know why it does not work in your case, and maybe you can share with a portable drive the cloned git repo.

Josef - getting old with wasting time in such situations ;-)
