I've tracked the problem down, and it was nothing to do with https vs http. On Solaris, getpass() will only return up to 8 characters. On Mac OS X, it returns up to 128 characters. My password for the https repo was 10 characters long, and the test clone over http used a default 6 character password. Solaris provides getpassphrase() which returns up to 257 characters. When I change fossil to use this instead of getpass(), everything works fine. I'll submit a patch to use getpassphrase() and build nicely on Solaris (you need to hack the makefile a bit as well).
