can't push/pull from mercurial repository - abort: error: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Question

I am planning to use mercurial for a new project but I\'m having some problem accessing the bitbucket repository. I\'m new to mercurial, but I have used git previously.

Answer 1

So I found the source of the error, I had initially installed tortoise hg which had created the following mercurial.ini file in my user directory, once I deleted this file, it resolved the issue. I suppose the problem was that I had specified the repository url instead of an actual http proxy...

host = https://****@bitbucket.org/****/*** (my repository path)
