Hi Zheng,

At the very least it should prompt for your HTTP password.
It looks to me like a configuration problem with coreboots gerrit
instance, possibly a proxy/webserver misconfiguration.
Checking out via HTTP works just fine, unfortunately I can't test
pushing because I have nothing relevant to push :)

CCing Stefan Reinauer as he is the admin of the machine running gerrit
I think, maybe he can look into it (hope I don't overstep my
boundaries here).
