Unknown SSL protocol error in connection

Question

I want to push my commits to a Bitbucket repository but this error occurred:

Fatal: unable to access
\'https://myUsername@bitbucket.org/myUsername/myReposito         


        

Answer 1

The corporate HTTP proxy behind which I currently am sporadically gives this error. I can fix it by simply visiting bitbucket.org in a browser, then retyring the command. Have no idea why this works, but it does fix it for me (at least temporarily).
