I'm trying to clone a Git repository. At work we're making use of a proxy with authentication.
The commands I execute to set up the proxy settings:
git config --global http.proxy http://username:password@proxy-link.nl:port-number
git config --global https.proxy http://username:password@proxy-link.nl:port-number
But this won't help since I'm getting the error: Unable to access 'https://github.com/...': Invalid file descriptor
When I change the proxy settings so that I don't have to use my authentication It works.. Like:
git config --global http.proxy http://proxy-link.nl:other-port-number
git config --global https.proxy http://proxy-link.nl:other-port-number
Anybody knows how to use the proxy with the authentication?
I fixed it by the way a month ago by adding the proxyAuthMethod like below:
git config --global http.proxyAuthMethod 'basic' and git config --global https.proxyAuthMethod 'basic'
