Problem when building

[Neuwirth Erich]

I tried to start a building process on a new machine today.
I did a git clone of the master branch and then make.
make stopped because it tried to download deps/libuv via https which produced an http error.
Doing git clone manually instead seems to solve the problem.

Should this be fixed?

Did your manual clone also use the https URL?

[Bill Hart]

I had the same problem, but just changed it to git instead of https.

Bill.

That's why I was asking about the clone URLs. I was trying to suss out if it was an SSL certificate checking failure or not. Using git URLs will work, but doesn't provide any authentication for the data transfer, which is suboptimal — we want to be sure that people are getting the real code, which is why all of GitHub uses HTTPS in the first place. The plain git protocol (sans SSH) does no authentication.

Not to mention the ability to directly push code that was modified in place.

[Stefan Karpinski]

I think that without a user name in the HTTPS URL, you still can't do that.

[Patrick O'Leary]

Possibly this, though I'd expect it to fail for everything, not just the submodule.

Yeah you can. It will prompt you for your username.

[Neuwirth Erich]

No,

i used the git url.

The submodule is defined with the https url, so it's definitely http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3777075/https-github-access then. If you use Debian or Ubuntu, install the "ca-certificates" package. Other distros have something similar, and manual instructions for loading certificates are on the Stack Overflow link above.
