[Yum] Yum Help Needed

[DAVID TOMALAK]

Hello,

    I setup a local yum repository on a fedora core 3 box.  The box serves 
both fedora core 2 and fedora core 3 updates.  I have run both the yum-arch 
and createrepo for both. The yum server seems to work, as I have updated 4 
boxes from this server.

    In order to talk to the yum server, all 4 boxes mentioned above are set 
up to go through a proxy. I believe my http_proxy is set correctly as the 
boxes do update.

    However, the problem I am having occurs when I try to update a file that 
contains + (plus) characters. It appears the http proxy interprets plus's as 
%2B.  For example, when trying to update gcc-c++-3.4.3-22.fc3.i386.rpm the 
following occurs: 
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yum/redhat/fc3/updates/i386/gcc-c%2B%2B-3.4.3-22.fc3.i386.rpm 
[errno 4]

The file gcc-c++-3.4.3-22.fc3.fc3.i386.rpm is present and even tried copying 
the original to a name that contains the %2B.  I am not a wiz with proxy's, 
but it appears there is an interpretation problem somewhere. Does anyone 
have any ideas on how to solve this. I am usually able to find the answer 
online, but this one has stumped me.

Thanks
