Does git clone work through NTLM proxies?

Question

I\'ve tried both using export http_proxy=http://[username]:[pwd]@[proxy] and git config --global http.proxy http://[username]:[pwd]@[proxy].

Answer 1

Cloning works for me but only over HTTP (since our corporate firewall blocks the ssh/git protocols):

$ export http_proxy="http://username:password@proxy:port/"
$ git clone http://github.com/sunlightlabs/fiftystates_site.git fifty
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/user/fifty/.git/

Github suggests cloning via git://github.com/... but you have to change it to http://github.com/... manually.

Edit: I'm using git version 1.5.6.3.

Hope that helps!
