If the proxy server requires a username and password, add these to the
URL. To include the username |yum-user| and the password |qwerty|, add
these settings:

|# The Web proxy server, with the username and password for this account
http_proxy="http://yum-user:qwerty@mycache.mydomain.com:3128"
export http_proxy|

*Example 5. Profile Settings for a Secured Proxy Server*

[Note] 	The |http_proxy| Environment Variable

The |http_proxy| environment variable is also used by |curl| and other
utilities. Although |yum| itself may use |http_proxy| in either
upper-case or lower-case, |curl| requires the name of the variable to be
in lower-case.
