Git RPC Failed; result=22, HTTP code = 400

Question

I've read around on StackOverflow, and found similar situations to mine, but none close enough for me to figure out what I should try to do next. I'm trying to pull fresh copies of libraries required to build a project I'm working on (git clone).

I'm issuing the following command (enabling GIT_CURL_VERBOSE for more info) and getting the following data:

[thexfactor@THISISMYSERVER ~]$ GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone http://github.com/symfony/symfony.git

error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 400
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Issuing a command for http*s*://github.com/symfony/symfony.git works. That's not the question. Fetching symfony is one library in a large set of libs that are part of a composer file for a library I'm trying to include.

Without the extra info, the response is simply:

error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 400
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

All requests for libs over HTTPS work, none over HTTP. I'd prefer to understand why this was working for me yesterday, and why I have to change everything over to HTTPS now - I can't modify the composer file and contribute back, and would prefer a solution to a workaround.

Anyone good at parsing the response headers, to figure out what might be happening?

Answer 1

switch http, https to ssh, it will be work !

# origin
git clonie http://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git

# new
git clone [email protected]:gmarik/vundle.git

Answer 2

I had a similar problem, it was immediately solved when I upgraded to git version 1.8.x
