git 2.20.1.windows.1 does not honor http.sslverify=false

by

Try first and access your repo in a CMD session where you set a simplified PATH, using a portable Git for Windows (PortableGit-2.20.1-64-bit.7z.exe), uncompressed in C:\Git:

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set GH=C:\path\to\git
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%

Then try to access your repo in that session.

Edit by the OP, Peter: The test with an uncluttered environment worked. The difference is with the environment variables https_proxy and HTTPS_PROXY which both must be unset.1 This is true even though the server is listed in the no_proxy environment variable which normally instructs programs to not use a proxy for specific servers listed in the variable value. Luckily the repo server is in the local network.2

It’s unclear to me whether git proper, cURL or openssl is the culprit here; the variables are, I believe, evaluated by git proper as well as the networking libraries.

1I think it’s for historical reasons that the variable exists in an upper-case and lower-case form.

2 As far as I can tell the issue is not with the proxy server because the repo server certificate is obtained and correctly recognized as self-certified.
