Description Mario 2003-10-16 15:34:53 EDT

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora Beta 3

How reproducible:

Always when you need to use a Proxy server.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set parameter http_proxy="server_name:port" and export the variable
    In my case  I don't need a username/passwd

2. Run up2date -u 


    
Actual results:

Fetching package list for channel: rawhide...

Expected results:

To update my system

Additional info:

This works  fine if I run up2date in a machine connected directly to internet

Comment 1 Mario 2003-10-16 15:53:49 EDT

Oops, I forgot to say that up2date fails when the machine is inside a network
and you use a proxy for up2date

Comment 2 Mario 2003-10-16 15:58:28 EDT

I also tried to define the proxy server in /etc/wgetrc to see if there was any
difference but nothing changed

Comment 3 Mario 2003-10-16 16:02:59 EDT

As additional information. This functionality worked fine in Beta 2

Comment 4 Mario 2003-10-20 10:21:13 EDT

I installed:

up2date-4.1.7-1
up2date-gnome-4.1.7-1


And I get: 

# up2date -u
 
Fetching package list for channel: rawhide...
 
Fetching http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide//headers/header.info...
There was some sort of I/O error: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')>
