[CentOS-devel] Using https repository through proxy

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 !
