Hi,
for various reasons I am trying to install a private repository for Centos 5, and I would like to use HTTPS only connections. The servers must access to this repository through a proxy.
In the .repo file I have configured :
baseurl=https://my.repository/pkg/stable/$basearch
The proxy is defined correctly.
yum fails with:
https://my.repository/pkg/stable/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 501: Not Implemented
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: Please verify its path and try again.
Using a fake proxy shows me that the request sent by yum is not correct (ie GET https://... Instead of a classical CONNECT request).
I have found (thanks google) that this bug is known, seems related to urllib2.py and httplib.py from python 2.4, but I can't find a way to make it works. The patches and the solution are quite old, and does not seems to apply (or I am doing something wrong).
Futhermore the bug is known from Redhat https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208852 since a long time, and according bugzilla has been corrected in 2006 !
Well, I don't know where to look at now, so help appreciated !
