Splunk 6.5 and accessing git using https

[adrianblakey]

I have this installed in a test 6.5.2 server and made a simple minded chnage to point this to our local git repo with a https URL - before I start debugging this do you have any advice or suggestions about how to make this work?

splunk cmd ./fetch_git_repo_data.sh
repository does not exist!
fetching git repo data for repository: https://xxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxx@server.foo.com/repo/foo
Cloning into bare repository '/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk-app-splunkgit/git-repositories/foo'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://xxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxx@server.foo.com/repo/foo/': Failed connect to server.foo.comt:443; Connection timed out

Fixed - sort of - use a proxy to access our local git repo, and cache the login credentials so that git fetech does not prompt for them.
