git clone mediawiki issues over https

[darenwelsh]

When I ran git clone mediawiki::https://192.168.100.100/demo wiki-sync (on the "master" wiki) from #1 I got the following error message. Meza sets up for https by default.

[daren@localhost Git-Mediawiki]$ git clone mediawiki::https://192.168.100.100/demo wiki-sync
Cloning into 'wiki-sync'...
Searching revisions...

fatal: 'https://192.168.100.100/demo' does not appear to be a mediawiki
fatal: make sure 'https://192.168.100.100/demo/api.php' is a valid page
fatal: and the SSL certificate is correct.
fatal: (error 2: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed) : error occurred when accessing https://192.168.100.100/demo/api.php after 1 attempt(s))
fatal: Could not read ref refs/mediawiki/origin/master

So I ran sudo cpan install LWP::Protocol::https

Then I tried git clone mediawiki::https://192.168.100.100/demo wiki-sync again and got the following:

[daren@localhost Git-Mediawiki]$ git clone mediawiki::https://192.168.100.100/demo wiki-sync

@darenwelsh sorry this has taken a month.

I switched the remote for the submodule to better track changes made upstream so you'll either need to use a clean checkout or git pull && git submodule sync && git submodule update --init in your current check out.

To clone a wiki with a self-signed cert, use git -c http.sslVerify=false clone mediawiki::https://example.com/ or set the envvar GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true.

In the repo for the wiki, you'll probably want to git config http.sslVerify false
