Fedora Users — Re: yum proxy doesn't work on FC5

Hi,

it seems that yum ignores proxy settings on FC5:

    [jwi@stujwi ~]$ set | grep proxy
    http_proxy=http://httpprox.software-ag.de:8080/
    https_proxy=http://sslprox.software-ag.de:443/

As you can see, the proxy settings are there.

    [jwi@stujwi ~]$ wget http://fedora.redhat.com/
    --10:56:55--  http://fedora.redhat.com/
               => `index.html'

    Connecting to httpprox.software-ag.de|10.20.40.6|:8080... connected.

As you can see, they are also working. But yum ignores them. As
tcpdump shows me, it attempts to contact HTTP servers directly. Is
this a known problem and what can I do?

Are the proxy environment variables also present in the environment thatroot gets using sudo?


sudo env | grep -i proxy
