Fatal - Unable to connect a socket

This error happens when you change the protocol from https:// to git://

# git clone git://chipcode.qti.qualcomm.com/home/git/qualcomm_ipq8066-ln-1-0-1_qca_oem_carrier_carrier.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /qualcomm_ipq8066-ln-1-0-1_qca_oem_carrier_carrier/.git/
chipcode.qti.qualcomm.com[0: 199.106.114.179]: errno=Connection refused
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)

The solution is to use the https:// protocol as shown in the ChipCode web UI. If you select the URL, it automatically includes the right protocol in the URL. Do not change it to anything else.
