Is there a timetable to fix the yum/http proxy incompatibility? i find it interesting this has not been addressed yet.
- Another common problem is transparent proxy servers and yum. HTTP
mirrors and yum don't work really well via transparent proxy servers, so if you are using one, your best bet is to pick an FTP mirror from our public external server list (see mirror link above) instead of mirror.centos.org.
why not ask the guys who built the proxy, thats where the breakage is mostly.
Also, you have the option of going to a ftp mirror, and circumvent this issue.
I've not had a problem with squid, its worked fine for me - I run a few machines that sit behind it. But then again, not in a transparent role.
the fix you are looking for is the with proxy developers, not in yum - yum uses http 1.1, as long as the proxy supports it and works in a sane manner, you will have no problems ( that I know of ).
