can you try to browse to https://api.github.com/repos/Kapeli/feeds/contents/ ?
It looks like there's some issue with parsing that page, but it works fine on my machine... maybe is a connectivity issue?

Found the culprit: GitHub rejects requests without User-Agent with:

HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

Request forbidden by administrative rules. Please make sure your request has a User-Agent header (http://developer.github.com/v3/#user-agent-required). Check https://developer.github.com for other possible causes.

and i was using url-privacy-level set to 'paranoid, effectively disabling the User-Agent for url-retrieve functions.

You can close this, sorry for the inconvenience.
