Description BreyndotEchse 2012-08-17 13:36:46 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.2 (Build 201207301726)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_31
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 20.6-b01


Well... I'm pretty sure it does.
I checked my remote configuration several times and could not find any mistake. So i tried to push my repository by using "GIT GUI".
That worked perfectly without any errors.

Really? Did you check configuration of the remote in .git/config or the configuration on the server?
The message means that your repository does not support smart http upload. In other words, it does not respond with the expected content-type (application/x-git-receive-pack-advertisement) and content for the following get request: REPOSITORY_URL/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack
If the server is public, let me know its URL. If it is a private one and you can configure it, make sure it sends the correct response.

Hello,

I got the same issue.
I tried to push with Netbeans 8.0.2 : got the error "remote does not support smart HTTP push".
In the same repository, I used command line ("git push origin master"), it worked.

I think that if it works with command line, that is not a server issue but a Netbeans issue.

I work with a private server and access git through apache/WebDAV with a self-signed certificate.

Here is my apache config :

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName git.exemple.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/git-error.log
    DocumentRoot /var/git
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/exemple.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/exemple.com.key

    SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /var/git
    SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
    SetEnv REMOTE_USER=$REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER
    ScriptAliasMatch "(?x)^/git/(.*/(HEAD | info/refs | objects/(info/[^/]+ | [0-9a-f]{2}/[0-9a-f]{38} | pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}\.(pack|idx)) | git-(uploa
d|receive)-pack))$" /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend/$1

    <Directory "/usr/lib/git-core/">
        AllowOverride None
        Options +ExecCGI -Includes
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Location />
        DAV on
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Git Repository"
        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
        Require valid-user
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Please try with 8.0.2 and attach the IDE log with the error from there. Thanks.

Additional Note: 
Push to our company internal git server using http from Git for Windows worked without problems.
