I've noticed that most github recipes use the https url instead of the http one. I'm wondering if there is a reason for that or if it is just a matter of preference.

My problem is that at work I'm behind a proxy, and while cloning http works using a http_proxy env var, I can't get it to work for https, and from what I've found in google I'm not the only one with this problem.
