Description Susan McCourt

RC1 candidate, orion.eclipse.org
I was having trouble running the git log page from an inner site.

The error was
"NetworkError: 405 Method Not Allowed - http://orion.eclipse.org/gitapi/remote/origin/master/file/Cf/?page=1" (http://orion.eclipse.org/gitapi/remote/origin/master/file/Cf/?page=1)

followed by a bunch of 
Error: Unable to load http://orion.eclipse.org/gitapi/remote/origin/master/file/Cf/?page=1 status:0

I realized afterward that I was not logged in.  The "Security" menu was showing.

Once I logged in, I got farther (will open another bug on that).

Expected a 401 error rather than 405.

However when I try to reproduce this error (by logging out), I get the 401.
Note that this was running an inner self hosting site, I've always seen the expected behavior on orion.eclipse.org

I had also run into other difficulties and had cleared the browser cache before trying to go the URL, maybe that contributed to the problem?

This doesn't seem to be an issue any more.
