Is there a timetable to fix the yum/http proxy incompatibility? i find it interesting this has not been addressed yet.
First, it's not a problem with all http proxies, just the ones that suck. Second, it has been addressed. The method of diagnosing and fixing it is even in the FAQ.
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq#Q5
Basically, 1. Get your proxy software/firmware updated so that it properly implements HTTP 1.1 2. Use an FTP repository, where byte ranges are more commonly supported by the proxy 3. Create a local mirror with rsync and then point your yum.conf to that local mirror 4. Don't use yum
