Re: Git clone sends first an empty authorization header

When doing basic authentication using git clone by passing the
username and password in the url git clone will first send a GET
request without the authorization header set.

Am i seeing this right?

Yes, that is the correct way to implement HTTP authentication.  The
client won't know which authentication method to use until the server
tells it.
