Mercurial on IIS7 error when trying to clone repository

Question

I have set Mercurial 1.51 up on a Hyper-V server running Windows 2008R2 and am trying to use IIS7 to serve the repositories. I followed these instructions which I had previously used when evaluating mercurial with success. All was going well I could see the repositories from with a browser but when I tried to clone the repository from the server I receive the following error:

requesting all changes

abort: HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway

I am not sure if this is an issue with IIS or Hyper-V or Mercurial? Any suggestion much appreciated

Answer 1

I noticed that tutorial did not instruct you to add the python IIS Handler Mapping. Take a look at this tutorial, specifically #3 under the IIS 7 section. That may help.

Answer 2

I was getting the same error, in my case the workaround was to check the use uncompressed transfer option in the clone dialog.
