Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-12 06:01:47 UTC
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 8 Denys Vlasenko 2011-07-11 12:47:37 UTC
ABRT 2.x Deplyment Guide will contain the following explanation:

		x.x.x. Uploading/reporting using proxy servers

abrt-action-bugzilla and abrt-action-upload tools respect http_proxy
and ftp_proxy environment variables.

When you run them as part of a reporting event, environment variables
are inherited from the process which performs reporting. Therefore
you can use traditional method of specifying HTTP or FTP proxy servers
by setting these variables in your working environment.

If you arrange these tools to be as part of a post-create event,
they are run as children of abrtd process. In this case, you should either
modify abrtd's environment, or modify the rules to set these variables.
Example:

	EVENT=post-create analyzer=Python
	    test -f component || abrt-action-save-package-data
	    export http_proxy=http://proxy.server:8888/
	    abrt-action-bugzilla -c /etc/abrt/plugins/Bugzilla.conf
