I haven't looked into it yet but I think this is a limitation LWP inherits from one of it many dependencies. It will take time for me to investigate it there is a workaround but your solution using HTTP for the local connection and HTTPS to rhn may be the only practical workaround right now. > By the way, great script, it works like a charm (except this proxy setting!) > > I still have three questions: > - For Centos, I have a base channel named Centos 6 Base and a child channel > for the updates.
