title: Set up git to proxy server when proxy does not require username or password
body: <p>I work behind a corporate firewall, but I have available to me a proxy server for when a tool or piece of software needs it. This proxy does not require a username or password and I have successfully used it in the past. </p>
  
  <p>However, I am having trouble using it with git on windows. The command I use is this: "git config --global http.proxy <a href="http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx.x:8080" rel="nofollow">http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx.x:8080</a>"</p>
  
  <p>I simply omit the username and password part of the command: "git config --global http.proxy <a href="http://proxyuser:proxypwd@proxy.server.com:8080" rel="nofollow">http://proxyuser:proxypwd@proxy.server.com:8080</a>"</p>
  
  <p>But I get back an error when doing a git clone that says: "received http code 407 from proxy after CONNECT"</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong? is there no hope?</p>
