Github plugin is not using proxy settings

Hi all,

Using IntelliJ Idea 14.1 on Windows 7.

I'm trying to use the Github integration plugin to create a New Project From Version Control through Github.
Well, I have the IDE settings configured to connect through a proxy with credentials. That works fine, because I can download and install
plugins and so on.

The problem is that the Github plugin seems not being using the proxy settings, because when I try to clone any project I receive this error message:

Clone failed

unable to access 'https://github.co/eyp/Xarcade2Jstick.git/': Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT


The 407 error means the proxy needs credentials. I've tried to config git adding the property http.proxy as http://username:password@myproxyIP:port with:

git config --global --add http.proxy http://username:password@myproxyIP:port

but it didn't work either.

Furthermore, I've tried to use the cntlm proxy, but without success, I get the error: 'Proxy returning invalid challenge!'


Also I've tried it adding some properties in the idea.exe.vmoptions file, but I get the same 407 error:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=myProxyIP
-Dhttp.proxyPort=myProxyPort
-Dhttp.proxyUser=myUsername
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=myPassword
-Dhttps.proxyHost=myProxyIP
-Dhttps.proxyPort=myProxyPort
-Dhttps.proxyUser=myUsername
-Dhttps.proxyPassword=myPassword

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.
