I have exactly the same problem as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12849986/connection-timeout-when-accessing-github
So I'll just copy & paste:
I have some weird problems. When I try to log in my Github
account, I get a "net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE" error.
I tried with Chrome, Firefox and Opera. In Firefox, if a clean the
cache and offline data, it works for a while. Then I can log in, but I
still can't create a Github repository, even if I clear the cache
again.
My friend, in the same network, with Windows, can do
whatever he wants on Github's web site, but I can't. I tried many
DNS servers, I tried not to set it (my friend doesn't), but it's still not working.
My OS: Ubuntu x64 12.04
Ideas, please. And thanks.
Also, I can clone any repo but I can't push. I had to change to https://codeplane.com/ due to this problem, but I want to understand why it happens.
EDIT: I could clone one repo, but the other one just hangs at this point:
felipelalli@felipelalli-Studio-XPS-8100:~/wa$ git clone
[email protected]:felipelalli/micaroni.git
