I am using Fedora Core 5, and am behind a Squid proxy. I have set the
http_proxy, ftp_proxy variables in /etc/profile as:
export http_proxy="http://mmh3:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128"
export https_proxy="http://mmh3:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128"
export ftp_proxy="http://mmh3:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128"
export socks_proxy="http://mmh3:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128"
I am no expert, but should not there be a "/" after the proxy port? We
also use squid proxy, and have been told that the "/" is essential.

My /etc/wgetrc looks like:
#http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
#ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
use_proxy = on
Since the proxy variables are already set in /etc/profile I have not
set them here. Moreover wget can successfully download files from the
Internet.
My /etc/yum.conf looks like:
[main]
proxy=http://172.16.16.2
proxy_username=mmh3
proxy_password=mmh3
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
timeout=7
However I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo yum list
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/repodata/repomd.xml:

The same XML file
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/repodata/repomd.xml
can be successfully downloaded by wget and seen by Firefox. So why the
error?
