Error cloning git repository, returns error code 501

I'm trying to create a git "server" with Apache using HTTPS protocol. For that I've created created an alias pointing the directory "git". Then in this directory I have multiple folders, one for each user, protected by htaccess & htpasswd for authentication, and finally one folder per repositories of each user. So I'm supposed to access to my repos with links of that form:

https: //localhost/git/user/repo.git

I then followed this tutorial : http://www.it-connect.fr/mettre-en-place-une-connexion-ssl-avec-wamp%EF%BB%BF/ to enable HTTPS.

But when I try to clone one of my repos, by doing:

git clone https: //user:pass@localhost/git/user/repo.git

it returns the message:

fatal: unable to access 'https: //user:pass@localhost/git/user/repo.git': The requested URL returned error : 501

.

I watched to the ssl access & error logs to understand why and it seems that somewhere it request are modifies because instead of a typical GET request I have :

[Sat Jul 19 13:05:36.794602 2014] [core:error] [pid 8572:tid 1580] [client 127.0.0.1:59226] AH00135: Invalid method in request ]\xdaGET /git/user/repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1

And I agree with the server that ]\xdaGET is an invalid method, be cause it should be GET.

Does someone know where that problem comes from ?

That means you git client is too old. Please upgrade it to the latest version, and it will be fine.

Any reason you have a space after the https: in your URL? It might just be a syntax error based on that. Should be https://, not https: //
