Sorry, it does not serve the request. It returns http 401.
But if I add the username and password as a part of the URL, it succeeds.

In that case, then you probably need to upgrade your client version of
git, as I mentioned here:

Or is it that the server tells git that it needs authorization, but git
does not prompt, and instead just fails with "Authentication failed". In
that case, the issue is that you need a newer git client. Traditionally
the client expected to handle authentication during the initial
"info/refs" request. I added support for handling authentication during
later requests in commit b81401c, which is in git v1.7.11.7 and
v1.7.12.1.
