Hi There,
I can into the exact same problem after upgrading to the latest cygwin version.
So, following your advice, I took git-2.6.1.tar.gz from github, untarred,
and modified http.c:
$ diff git-2.6.1/http.c t/git-2.6.1/http.c
466,467c466,468
< if (curl_http_proxy) {
< curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXY, curl_http_proxy);
---
> if (curl_http_proxy) {
> curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXY, curl_http_proxy);
> }
469c470
< curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
---
> curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
471d471
< }
One make configure, ./configure, make and make install I can confirm that
unpatching the change undoes the problem :)
