Fail to set proxy server on git windows version

[msg life]

Hi,

I work in my company behind a proxy server, as it happens normally with most companies.

However when I try to clone a repo (public one) from github (e.g https://github.com/corda/samples-java) I get a timeout error.

 I try to configure proxy with:

• git config --global http.proxy http://{proxyHost}:{proxyPort}
• git config --global https.proxy http://{proxyHost}:{proxyPort}

but I get the same result this only happens using windows os I have a server running on the same network also behind the same proxy and it works just fine. 

I also try to set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY windows environment variables and it simply does not work. 

Is my company the only one with this issue? It looks windows related!!!!! 

Thank you

Which one was it? how did you spot the error?  hopefully useful info for others searching..

Are you able to share the clues?

All the best
