[heur] [Yum] yum and http proxy -- error message

[Schneider, Silvio]

Unfortunatly I am not the network administrator, so I can not change
anything on the proxy.
(network admin says: virusware can't connect non-transparent proxy)
 
are feature requests also going to bugzilla?
 
If someone is using fedora: is there any otherway to download the update
rpms?
 
Regards
Silvio

	I was facing the same problem. 

	Now I am using Transparent Proxy. Now yum is working fine. If
that is an option available to you, then you can give it a try.

		Hi all,

		 

		Our admin has recently installed a proxy. All traffic to
the internet must now pass the HTTP proxy.  

		The only open port to the outside world is 8080. 

		 

		I have added a proxy line in yum.conf, but it doesn't
work. ?!?

		 

		It was working perfectly before the proxy was installed.

		 

		here is my yum.conf

		
		[main]
		proxy=http://10.100.100.99:8080
		cachedir=/var/cache/yum
		debuglevel=2
		logfile=/var/log/yum.log
		pkgpolicy=newest
		distroverpkg=fedora-release
		tolerant=1
		exactarch=0
		# Added this because some mirrors go down and then
retying takes forever.
		retries=1
		timeout=10

		Webrowser and so on works. So no general network
problems.

		My yum version:

		# rpm -q yum
		yum-2.4.0-0.fc4

		 

		any help?

		 

		Regards

		Silvio
