Git RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining

Any git clone of a repo above a certain size fails halfway through, I can use ssh method however for this case http is required as it is a secondary action as part of brew install.

$ brew cask install homebrew/cask-versions/adoptopenjdk8

==> Tapping homebrew/cask

This is on a brand new machine, with a very fast internet connection (verified the git clone works on other machines). Additionally I have increased buffer size

git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

I have no problem cloning small repos in both http and ssh method. I have reviewed similar stack questions such as the one below but they don't cover this scenario.

It turns out in my case it was indeed an anti-virus that I wasn't aware of, Virgin Broadband ISP use a built in Virus Safe that I did not know was activated without my consent. For those with this isp, it can be deactivated via https://my.virginmedia.com/my-apps/onlinesecurity/websafe/settings

If the issue persists, meaning if you see the same error message when trying yourself:

git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask

Then try:

  • either an SSH clone:

    git clone [email protected]:Homebrew/homebrew-cask /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
    
  • or a shallow clone as here

    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
    cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
    git fetch --unshallow

&tldr; brew update-reset

I just had the same issue. First I tried @VonC 's answer but it didn't help. I got message

āžœ  ~ git clone [email protected]:Homebrew/homebrew-cask /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
fatal: destination path '/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Googling next for that message gave me this link with solution (in case of mine) of running command

brew update-reset

After that problem was solved

==> Caveats
To use the Heroku CLI's autocomplete --
  Via homebrew's shell completion:
    1) Follow homebrew's install instructions https://docs.brew.sh/Shell-Completion
        NOTE: For zsh, as the instructions mention, be sure compinit is autoloaded
          and called, either explicitly or via a framework like oh-my-zsh.
    2) Then run
      $ heroku autocomplete --refresh-cache

  OR

  Use our standalone setup:
    1) Run and follow the install steps:
      $ heroku autocomplete

Bash completion has been installed to:
  /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d

zsh completions have been installed to:
  /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions

I am not quite sure why was this but maybe has something with OS update (happened around that point here). I had notification to upgrade OS to 10.15.7 for a day maybe and initial brew error stood even after updating OS.

It was the Virgin ISP settings. I added https://github.com as an Allowed website: https://my.virginmedia.com/my-apps/onlinesecurity/websafe/settings

Virgin ISP Web Safe Settings

Note that I removed the /usr/local/HomeBrew directory from previous attempts (sudo rm -rf /usr/local/HomeBrew) and then ran /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)" as per the standard installation instructions.

And hooray...!

==> Installation successful!
