Greetings,

I wanted to mention this to folks who may be running into this issue. A user on IRC reporting that cloning the cassandra repo on the apache servers

http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra.git

fails with error

error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 417

Obviously most folks do not have this issue.

417 is a server's response to a request that includes an expectation header specifying level of service that the server can not fulfill.

After some discover it looks as if the user in question was effected by squid <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_%28software%29> and that was injecting the expect header, based on the output from curl -v http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra.git

Clones from github for him do not fail, which I infer to mean that the github servers are more modern than the apache ones.

Not sure if there is anything that can be done in the apache infrastructure to address this.

dave
