We have some tests that provide a port when connecting to github. This is to help us test our ability to handle ports in some of our code. We use port 443 for testing in this case so that we can connect to github successfully. Normally, this isn’t an issue, but with ssh-agent and identity files configured, the subject is wrong I think.
Details:
Cloning from github with port 443 set yields the following:
ubuntu@box1171:/tmp$ git clone https://github.com:443/…
Cloning into ‘…’…
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Hi fossas/FOSSA! You’ve successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
