[yocto] Git and http problem.

[Francois P. Gallichand]

Hello,

I'm working behind a firewall, on which I have absolutely no control, and it does not allows the git protocol to go through. So I patch the recipes to replace the git protocol by the http protocol and it works most of the time. However one specific package, linux-yocto, does not seem to work even If I use the http protocol. It either times-out during the fetch, of the fetch goes on forever.

Frustrated with that situation, I tried various things to realize that if I tried to manually clone the git repository, it doesn't work with a "git clone git://...;protocol=http;..." but if I use "git clone http://...;protocol=http; ...",it is working fine. But the  http:// form is not supported by bitbake as if I use it in a recipe as the SRC_URI, bitbake gives me an error.

Is it a bug with bitbake or am I doing something wrong?
