We are having this same problem right now on our git bash console.

git push origin front

OR

git push

results in:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/sassafrass6/cs373-idb.git/': Failed connect to github.com:3128; Connection refused

In addition,

curl https://github.com/

results in:

curl: (7) Failed connect to github.com:3128; Connection refused

Any assistance would be greatly appreciate as our project deadline is at 10pm CDT August 7th. Btw, it's currently 2:58 CDT right now.

Hi there -- unfortunately the proxy that handles HTTP access for free accounts had crashed. Looks like someone had (probably inadvertently) DoSed it. We've restarted it and are trying to work out how to guard against this kind of problem.
