What version are you running?
1.6.9

What steps will reproduce the problem?
My GitHub repo has this url: https://github.com/MY_GITHUB_ID/MY_REPO_NAME

Under "Repository Hosting" section
Hosting service: GitHub
Account: <link a new account> (selected automatically)
Account username: MY_GITHUB_ID
Account password: password associated with MY_GITHUB_ID

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I keep getting this error message: Unknown error when linking the account: 'URLError' object has no attribute 'read'

What operating system are you using? 
Centos 6

Please provide any additional information below.
My RB server is behind a corporate firewall. It is verified that outbound ssh from my RB server to GitHub is granted.

Thought 1.6.9 aimed at supporting GitHub. Did I miss anything? Please help .

Thanks

The problem is the proxy. You will need to set the HTTP_PROXY and http_proxy environment variables in your Apache configuration using SetEnv, like:

    SetEnv http_proxy "http://proxy.example.com:1234/"
    SetEnv HTTP_PROXY "http://proxy.example.com:1234/"

It should then work.

hmmm...That doesn't seem to fix the problem. I'm using Nginx, and I've added 

env HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.MY_DOMAIN.com:XXXX;
env http_proxy=http://proxy.MY_DOMAIN.com:XXXX;

env HTTPS_PROXY=https://proxy.MY_DOMAIN.com:XXXX;
env https_proxy=https://proxy.MY_DOMAIN.com:XXXX;

in the configuration. Bounced the nginx server and restarted the fcgi backend processes, but I'm getting the same error still.

any idea? Thanks!

ping?

Can you take a look at this? Any pointers are appreciated.

Thanks!

It's still a proxy problem. Maybe try modifying the .fcgi file and setting the proxy variables in there.

Tried the following options, still no luck:

Option 1:
=========
set -e

export http_proxy=http://proxy.MY_DOMAIN.com:XXXX
exec /command/setuidgid reviewboard \
    python2.7 manage.py runfcgi daemonize=false host=0.0.0.0 \
                         port=8080 maxchildren=1024 maxrequests=1024

Option 2:
=========
set -e

exec /command/setuidgid reviewboard \
    env http_proxy=http://proxy.MY_DOMAIN.com:XXXX
    python2.7 manage.py runfcgi daemonize=false host=0.0.0.0 \
                         port=8080 maxchildren=1024 maxrequests=1024

I've looked into the logs and didn't find anything useful...

You might want to setup the env variable for https_proxy instead of http_proxy since you are accessing a https url.

From http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib2.html#urllib2.ProxyHandler, it seems that the default is to read the environment variable <protocol>_proxy and since your github url is https, that could be the problem
