"Error decoding the received TLS packet" when cloning into git repository

Question

I am experiencing an error when trying to clone into the https://github.com/zulip/zulip.git repository.

As far as I have looked this question has not been answered yet.

-I have tried raising the http/https buffer without success using:

git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
git config --global https.postBuffer 524288000

-The error always occurs @53% arround 100MiB in.

Cloning into 'zulip'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 342136, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (1589/1589), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (719/719), done.
error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-9): Error decoding the received TLS packet.
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

EDIT: I have done a bit testing and I seem to be getting this error whenever I try to clone a very large repository.
-I tried cloning the https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster repository and got the same error;
-Then I tried with an old and very small repository of mine ( https://github.com/LFBianchi/RPyNCalc ) and it works like a charm;
-Just to be sure I forked the github.com/zulip/zulip.git and tried cloning it from my version and got the same exact error.

This was solved by switching to SSH instead of HTTPS.
