I updated https://code.launchpad.net/~noaaport/npemwin/trunk to try http://bitbucket.org/noaaport/npemwin which bitbucket accepts when cloning the branch locally.

I answered too fast - the problem persists. The import still fails.

BitBucket is restricting non-git User-Agents from accessing their HTTPS service. They seem to be checking for the presence of 'git/' in the string.

$ curl -v -A git https://bitbucket.org/noaaport/npemwin.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack |& grep '^< HTTP'
< HTTP/1.1 404 NOT FOUND
$ curl -v -A git/ https://bitbucket.org/noaaport/npemwin.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack |& grep '^< HTTP'
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
$ curl -v -A git/foo https://bitbucket.org/noaaport/npemwin.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack |& grep '^< HTTP'
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
$ curl -v -A gat/foo https://bitbucket.org/noaaport/npemwin.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack |& grep '^< HTTP'

It's probably best to contact them and ask them to be a bit less restrictive.

It doesn't look like anybody contacted them about this, so I've filed https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/6666

This was their response:

   Launchpad will need to send a git-like user agent to talk to our git backends. Anything containing git/ will do
