Is there a way to use an HTTP proxy (with a user/pass) with yum? Or at least a way to pass a user/pass through yum? I have a situation with a CentOS server behind a web filter appliance.
Add the following to /etc/wgetrc
http_proxy = http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080/ ftp_proxy = http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080/
... the web filter will need to be able to do http byte-range requests though. The proxy we have at work can't, yum should be able to deal without but can't so I have to rsync each of the repositories down locally and run yum from them.
