stack.sh installer fails to install python requirements

Based on this:

error: Failed connect to github.com:443; Connection timed out while accessing https://github.com/cloudbuilders/openstackx.git/info/refs

It looks like you're having trouble reaching github.com. Can you verify that github is reachable from your machine?

Of course,
the access works fine, i did "git pull" many times in the last few days, to update the master repo :

root@itlha105:/opt/stack/devstack# git pull

anyway YES, running manually the command, it fails using https protocol while it works using http :

root@itlha105:/opt/stack/devstack# git clone -q https://github.com/cloudbuilders/openstackx.git
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

root@itlha105:/opt/stack/devstack#

Now, is there the way to say the script stack.sh to use http://github.com/cloudbuilders/openstackx.git instaed of https?

Also just skipping this only step and going on, should be fine ( because I jut got manually the src/openstackx ).

Any help on where/how/what to change in the stack.sh ?

Ok, modifying /opt/stack/devstack/files/pips/horizon like following :

before :

-e git+https://github.com/cloudbuilders/openstackx.git#egg=openstackx
-e git+https://github.com/jacobian/openstack.compute.git#egg=openstack
-e git+https://github.com/4P/python-keystoneclient.git#egg=python-keystoneclient

after :

-e http://github.com/cloudbuilders/openstackx.git#egg=openstackx
-e http://github.com/jacobian/openstack.compute.git#egg=openstack
-e http://github.com/4P/python-keystoneclient.git#egg=python-keystoneclient

stack.sh will use http instead of https ... but it fails elsewhere :

... of course you see "--proxy=http://localhost:5865" in previous log :

sudo PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE=/var/cache/pip pip install --proxy=http://localhost:5865 --use-mirrors django-nose-selenium

because I'm behind a firewall, so I congigured stack.sh to work with NTLmaps proxy configuration :

sudo PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE=/var/cache/pip pip install --proxy=http://localhost:5865 --use-mirrors `cat $FILES/pips/*`

Ah, you have found devstack.org. :)
