Authorization problem

[brechtcs]

I'm trying to use hub in Termux on my Android device (32bit), but when trying to authenticate the first time I get the following error :

Post https://api.github.com/authorizations: dial tcp: lookup api.github.com on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:56040->[::1]:53: read: connection refused

I have no idea what's going on here, so hard to say whether it's a bug or a user error.

lookup api.github.com ... connection refused suggests that this is a network error. It's likely not something that we can solve from hub, sorry!

Strange, because curl https://api.github.com works as expected, and I haven't noticed any problems with other applications. Just wondering what hub is trying to do here that has special demands of the network. I tried this with different settings for hub.protocol and the behaviour is the same.

@brechtcs Then it might be something about how the Go application is compiled for your Android device. How are you installing hub? Can you compile a small Go program that does an HTTP request to https://api.github.com and see if it works?

@mislav I didn't compile it myself. Just using the precompiled version 2.5.1 for Linux ARM 32-bit from the releases page.

Maybe it's a problem in some networking dependency upstream?

[mislav]

@brechtcs Not sure! But I don't know if there's anything we can do from our side (i.e. from this project's code).

Closing as I don't think there's anything that we can do here (or, please feel free to suggest fixes!). Likely you'll have to compile hub speficially for your system.
