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/
Since when does yum read wgetrc?
I believe yum uses wget (or libraries) and wget reads wgetrc, I picked this up from the yum mailing list and it works too! :-)
Setting the local vars HTTP_PROXY and FTP_PROXY is also enough if you just want to use it in the current session.
