[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/fossil/src]$ grep 'server does not respond' *.*

The actual error is:

Accept certificate for host fossil (a=always/y/N)? y
server did not reply

$ grep 'server did not reply' *.*
http.c:    fossil_fatal("server did not reply");

To cause this error message I just killed the remote fossil process that
was running before answering y.

I suspect  that something like  a dropped  connection may have  been the
cause  of  this,  but  it's  hard  to  say  without  more  details  (and
reproducibility).

I'm sorry, I don't have any of these details right now. I propose to ask my colleague to try to reproduce the error. I might take a bit of time, though. is this of interest?

for the record, what I do now is:

-- the problem occurred during the initial clone attempt of an essentially empty new repo (might have been 100kB)

-- if this makes a difference: it was a "cgi-served" repo and https

-- yes, there is a firewall involved

I've thought about a possible time-out problem but I would presume he (the colleague in the US) did just follow the provided recipe (he has no previous experience with fossil) step by step ("type fossil clone https:username@server repo.fossil and provide password"...) and it seems quite unlikely that he walked away for coffee at that point w/o answering the question).
