Description Stelian Pop 2001-02-21 09:59:20 UTC

It is not clear what syntax is to be used in the proxy fields of
rhn_register and up2date...

It would seem that rhn_register needs:
	rhnProxy=http://proxy:3128	(doesn't work with just proxy:3128)
but /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rup2date is:
	pkgProxy=proxy:3128

Please unify those two and put an example describing the syntax in the
comments.

[root@biwa rhn]# rpm -q up2date
up2date-2.3.1-1
[root@biwa rhn]# rpm -q rhn_register
rhn_register-1.1-1

Stelian.

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Release-Candidate #2

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2001-03-01 01:55:50 UTC

current code has these two files merged back into /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
so the syntax should be consistent now

Comment 3 Jay Turner 2001-03-01 17:07:19 UTC

We are still not showing examples of the proxy format in the config file. 
Should probably add this.

Comment 4 Jay Turner 2001-03-02 12:22:25 UTC

OK, the 3/2/01 CVS version has this example proxy line in it.
