Git clone behind a proxy server

[geethu]

Hi,
I want to clone a linux bridge repository. i'm behind a proxy server. The command : git clone git://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/tidspbridge/kernel-dspbridge.git

gives the following error
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rajan/kernel-dspbridge/.git/
dev.omapzoom.org[0: 209.20.88.187]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

I've done
1 - sudo apt-get install socket
2 - in my home directory, a shell script called "proxy-cmd.sh" was created
containing
#! /bin/bash
(echo "CONNECT $1:$2 HTTP/1.0"; echo; cat ) | socket git://MYPROXY 3128 (read a; read a; cat )
3 - chmod +x proxy-cmd.sh
4 - export GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=<PATH TO MY SCRIPT>/proxy-cmd.sh

Still not getting
Please help ASAP

IMO, I think firewall is blocking git port. Ask your admin to open-up this port.
then do

telnet dev.omapzoom.org 9418

should give something like

Escape character is '^]'.

i get the following error message on giving the command telnet dev.omapzoom.org 9418

Trying 209.20.88.187...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

is there any alternative for git clone??

googled out these links - give it a try : Git error: fatal: unable to connect a socket (Invalid argument) - Stack Overflow
Using git protocol through HTTP – jpablobr.com
GIT clone over HTTP: who knew? Rip&#039;s Domain

You can also use ssh protocol instead of git://

Example - Using ssh protocol instead of git

git clone ssh://lakshmipathi@dev.machine.com/home/lakshmipathi/repo/reg.git

i hav tried
git config --global http.proxy our-proxy-server:3128

still not able to clone..

i got the following the message with SSH,

Again -if possible, ask for ssh account . I ran into few issues with git:// but with ssh:// they worked fine. I haven't tested git with http:// , so running out of ideas/thoughts.
what's the error message when you tried it using http:// ? post it.

i tried the procedures mentioned in the link to clone through http.

After this nothing occurs.
