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.
