git clone failing even after setting proxy with username:password

I am trying to clone the RestKit from https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit.git.
This is what I have done so far:

  1. Installed git.

  2. Set up the .gitconfig file with correct params in ~/

    [user]  
    name = myName   
    email = myEmail  
[http]  
    proxy = http://<username for proxy>:<password for proxy>@PROXY:8080  
    sslverify = false  
[https]  
    proxy = https://<username for proxy>:<password for proxy>@PROXY:8080

  3. Started the clone command as follows: 

    git clone https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit.git

I am getting the following error: 

Cloning into 'RestKit'...  
error: Could not resolve host: (nil); nodename nor servname provided, or not known while accessing https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack  
fatal: HTTP request failed

What am I missing?

UPDATE:
When I replace the http.proxy in the .gitconfig file with
http://:8080

i.e., without the credentials, then I get the following error: 

Cloning into 'RestKit'...  
error: The requested URL returned error: 407 while accessing https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack  
fatal: HTTP request failed

Well I figured out the issue. My password had an '@', due to which anything after the '@' in the password was being considered as the proxy address. Quite simple and dumb but it took me long to figure this out. :(

Sometimes, proxies don't work without having the domain first specified. Try adding this to your .gitconfig

[http]
    proxy = http://mydomain\\myusername:mypassword@PROXY:8080

Also have a further look at this question it might point some things out.
