>How do I set up an http proxy environment variable?

From your terminal, try downloading the repomd.xml file manually using
wget 
http://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora/releases/17/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml

If that fails, it could be a proxy issue. To solve it, on RHEL and Fedora, 
doing the following works:
1) create http_proxy entry in /etc/environment file
http_proxy= http://<proxy_server>:<proxy_port>
https_proxy=http://<proxy_server>:<proxy_port>

2) source the environment file in the shell where you are running the wget 
command (notice the '.' at the beginning)
. /etc/environment

Then run the wget command again.
