Mercurial https clone: "abort: error: (...) wrong version number"

Question

I have problem with mercurial on OS X 10.9.1 I have a repository on bitbucket with couple files, when I'm trying to clone it I'm getting an error:

mac-mini-jakub:testrepo kubeczek$ hg clone https://[email protected]/kubecz3k/test 
abort: error: _ssl.c:507: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

I have installed Mercurial 2.8.2 for MacOS X 10.9 from https://www.mercurial-scm.org/downloads/

I'm pretty sure that on the side of the bitbucket everything is ok, because I have no problem on linux machine.

here is the full traceback:

mac-mini-jakub:testrepo kubeczek$ hg clone https://[email protected]/kubecz3k/test --traceback

My Python version is:

mac-mini-jakub:~ kubeczek$ python -V
Python 2.7.6

And SSL:

>>> print _ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION
OpenSSL 0.9.8y 5 Feb 2013

I will appreciate every help, thanks!

You probably have to disable TLS, read this

To do so, add this to ~/.hgrc

[ui]
tls = False
