Description of problem: when using: git annex addurl --file somefile https://webserver.example.com/somefile git annex does not use https, but fallsback to http without any sort of warning or error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): git-annex-3.20120522-2.1.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. in a git repo, download a file 'foo', and run 'git annex add foo' 2. commit this annexed file, push it to a remote 3. in a separate directory checkout the git repo 4. run git-annex addurl --file foo https://server/path/to/foo Actual results: git-annex will attempt to download the file over http. If port 80 is blocked, git annex will error with connection refused. An strace shows it clearly trying on port 80: connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.127")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress) if you are monitoring your web server logs (when port 80 is allowed), you will see it attempt to connect over port 80 and never over port 443. Expected results: connects over port 443 via https Additional info: oddly enough if you leave out --file foo it will attempt to use ssl.
