docs -> "Another example:"
Try with https instead
Which keywords did you use when searching for this? Looks like its hard to find. Should we use https by default?
[sigh] Nevermind; you have already documented this in the documentation. My sincere apologies.
Haha, sorry, I discovered the documentation right before you answered.
Which keywords did you use when searching for this?
I didn't. I actually grep
ed for git://
in the source and saw that it was in the help documentation file, so then I ran :h vim-addon-manager.txt
and spotted it. Not the smartest thing, I know. :-(
I would say it would be great to have that issue the FAQ in the docs (not yet present) under something like "VAM fails to clone git repositories because I am behind a proxy/firewall. What can I do?"
Should we use https by default?
git clone
is faster over git://
and I think most people aren't behind tough firewalls, so I would vote that git://
is actually the right default protocol.
Thanks for the fast reply, by the way.
I have chosen to make git://
default everywhere where it is allowed because it provides another feature: while you should do git+https://
to pull git https repository in mercurial (at least some time ago it worked only in dev version of hg-git with dev version of dulwich), git://
works fine.
My workplace blocks the Git protocol port 9418. Unfortunately, VAM has hardcoded URLs for addons with a "git://" prefix, which causes Git to attempt to fetch repositories with the Git protocol. Can this please be replaced by a configurable protocol string set by the user, such as
so that, for those of us working behind draconian firewalls, VAM can still fetch plugins via Git?
