Ah, right. I just assumed this user wanted to use an http protocol. Even so, it's not all that hard to tunnel an arbitrary protocol through an http proxy - you issue the CONNECT verb and if the proxy server doesn't refuse (which it really *should* if it's not to port 443) you're golden and can treat it like a normal socket from there. > Another related feature that's been in the back of my mind for a while is > smart HTTP client support, where using a proxy should be more > straightforward :) > > On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 08:02, Jelmer Vernooij <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Thu, 2010-09-09 at 09:42 -0500, Augie Fackler wrote: >>> (+dulwich-users) >>> >>> On Sep 9, 2010, at 4:15 AM, Frog Brave wrote: >>> >>>> I am trying to use hg-git to get access to some public git repos. hg >>>> clone command does not work (I get a message about the absence of an >>>> answer from the other host) and I suppose the problem is I am behind a >>>> proxy. >>>> >>>> I tried to set http_proxy environment variable and it still did not >>>> work.
