I'm getting authorization errors when I lack a .netrc for an http-based server. Specifically: tf@shigeru tmp $ git clone http://myhost:port/git/io.git Cloning into io... Username: Password: error: The requested URL returned error: 401 (curl_result = 22, http_code = 401, sha1 = 9c201da4d64e2fd178935b9ebbd6e110a97578d4) error: Unable to find 9c201da4d64e2fd178935b9ebbd6e110a97578d4 under http://shigeru.sci.utah.edu:1234/git/io.git Cannot obtain needed blob 9c201da4d64e2fd178935b9ebbd6e110a97578d4 while processing commit b1853d6f6a54cf22e259a75f77770eef53b8cb38. error: Fetch failed. I did try multiple times; the username/password combo is correct :) A friend of mine is also experiencing the same problem. The server is running git 1.5.6.5; my client is 1.7.3.4, and I'm not sure what the other party's is, but it's likely to be recent. Everything works fine if we just create a ~/.netrc and set things up appropriately. `curl-config --version' says "libcurl 7.18.2" on my workstation. What have we configured incorrectly? -tom -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
