On a Linux machine I want to clone GitHub repositories while being behind an NTLM proxy.
I know about the answers here on Stackoverflow (like A, B or C) about git and proxies, and I have in accordance with them done the following:
In my .gitconfig I have set the proxy information in the form of
[http]
sslVerify = false
proxy = http://<user>:<password>@<ip-adress>:<port-number>
[https]
sslVerify = false
proxy = http://<user>:<password>@<ip-adress>:<port-number>
(Note: I have tried it without disabling SSL as well.)
Furthermore I have set the environment variables
HTTP_PROXY=http://<user>:<password>@<ip-adress>:<port-number>
HTTPS_PROXY=http://<user>:<password>@<ip-adress>:<port-number>
for the underlying curl calls.
Still I cannot connect. For example I issue
git clone http://github.com/doorOfChoice/json-view
If beforehand I have switch on debug output via export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 I get the following error message output:
Cloning into 'json-view'...

Strange thing is, curl on its own works! So what is different between the fetching via git and curl? How can I make git clone <URL> work behind this type of proxy?
