[Yum] yum and http proxy

[Schneider, Silvio]

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
