Git RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining

git homebrew-cask

Solution 1

If the issue persists, meaning if you see the same error message when trying yourself:

git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask

Then try:

  • either an SSH clone:

    git clone [email protected]:Homebrew/homebrew-cask /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask

  • or a shallow clone as here

    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
git fetch --unshallow

Solution 2

It turns out in my case it was indeed an anti-virus that I wasn't aware of, Virgin Broadband ISP use a built in Virus Safe that I did not know was activated without my consent. For those with this isp, it can be deactivated via https://my.virginmedia.com/my-apps/onlinesecurity/websafe/settings

Solution 3

&tldr; brew update-reset

I just had the same issue. First I tried @VonC 's answer but it didn't help. I got message

➜  ~ git clone [email protected]:Homebrew/homebrew-cask /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
fatal: destination path '/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Googling next for that message gave me this link with solution (in case of mine) of running command

brew update-reset

After that problem was solved

To use the Heroku CLI's autocomplete --
  Via homebrew's shell completion:
    1) Follow homebrew's install instructions https://docs.brew.sh/Shell-Completion
        NOTE: For zsh, as the instructions mention, be sure compinit is autoloaded
          and called, either explicitly or via a framework like oh-my-zsh.
    2) Then run
      $ heroku autocomplete --refresh-cache

  OR

  Use our standalone setup:
    1) Run and follow the install steps:
      $ heroku autocomplete

I am not quite sure why was this but maybe has something with OS update (happened around that point here). I had notification to upgrade OS to 10.15.7 for a day maybe and initial brew error stood even after updating OS.

Solution 4

It was the Virgin ISP settings. I added https://github.com as an Allowed website: https://my.virginmedia.com/my-apps/onlinesecurity/websafe/settings

Virgin ISP Web Safe Settings

Note that I removed the /usr/local/HomeBrew directory from previous attempts (sudo rm -rf /usr/local/HomeBrew) and then ran /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)" as per the standard installation instructions.

And hooray...!

==> Installation successful!

Solution 5

I manually download the install.sh file, and modify BREW_REPO as BREW_REPO="[email protected]:Homebrew/brew" , then run sh install.sh

    Any git clone of a repo above a certain size fails halfway through, I can use ssh method however for this case http is required as it is a secondary action as part of brew install. 

    $ brew cask install homebrew/cask-versions/adoptopenjdk8

    This is on a brand new machine, with a very fast internet connection (verified the git clone works on other machines). Additionally I have increased buffer size 

    git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

    I have no problem cloning small repos in both http and ssh method. I have reviewed similar stack questions such as the one below but they don't cover this scenario.

    Marked as the right answer, although in my case it did indeed turn out to be anti-virus software that was installed on my ISP end without my knowledge. I realised when switching to ssh and noticed the port was blocked. The methods you have listed work well when there is a poor connection speed.

    @TobyBeresford sudo? Nobody makes Git commands as root, usually. What OS and OS version are you using, what Git version are you using?

    @TobyBeresford Can you tell was it failing on some specific line described in log described in my answer? Do you see any similarities comparing your log with mine?
  • Toby Beresford

    Thanks for asking but I've now found the issue - it was the ISP stopping large downloads from github - adding github.com to my Allowed websites list solved it. :)
  • Toby Beresford

    Mac OS X 10.15.6 Catalina - Git 2.23.0. I was trying to overwrite existing partial clones hence the sudo, agree not great practice. :)

    @TobyBeresford OK, if the issue persists after upgrading Git to 2.28, you might want to consider posting a separate question, in order to make this more visible than buried in comments.
  • Toby Beresford

    @VonC Thanks, though I've found the answer for my own setup which was the ISP settings needed github to be an Allowed website.

    I found it was "Web Safe" rather than "Virus Safe" on virginmedia. Simply adding github.com to the "Allowed Websites" whitelist was sufficient to solve this
