[Yum] username & password proxy support?

[Sam Mingolelli (prod)]

I went through the mailinglist and saw some mentions about a problem 
with httplib.py. I couldn't figure out what the status was with this 
problem. I'm trying to use yum through a proxy server that requires a 
username and password and the prescribed approach:
http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy.server.com:<port> didn't work 
for me.
