SourceTree - Hosted Repositories - Content-Type Error

Question

Hi everyone,

Whenever I add a repository to my hosted list I get the following error when the dialog is saved and the list of hosted repositories is displayed.

--

'Content-Type' is an unexpected token. The expected token is "" or "'. Line2, Position 18.

--

Tried numerous repositories that should work, uninstalling/installing etc. Without any repositories the error disappeares.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Ryan

Sorry, my bad. I'd accidentally configured Internet Options control panel with our proxy server that does require authentication. I've corrected that and it's now working.

It would appear that SourceTree doesn't prompt for proxy credentials upon an HTTP 407 response. Instead, it displays an error message, as above.

The authentication-required proxy server would only work when I explicitly set custom proxy server and credentials in SourceTree > Tools > Options > Network.

I hope this helps!

I'm also having a similar problem on Windows Server 2008 R2. In my case, this error occurs when setting up my Bitbucket account upon initial install of SourceTree.

The computer is behind a proxy server (no authentication required).

Screenshot attached. Please let me know if you'd like any further info.

I'm having the same problem from a Windows 8 machine, yet no probelm from a Windows 7 machine.  Both are behind a proxy server that requires authentication if that helps with suggestions?
