Description of problem: To get yum to use a proxy you must add a trailing slash to the port Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.5-1.fc7 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.set proxy=http://some.proxy:3128 in yum.conf 2. 3. Actual results: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error nonnumeric port: '3128?'> Expected results: it should work Additional info: to fix it add :3128/
It looks like there's a non-printable character that snuck in there. Can you attach your entire yum.conf in its non-working state?
Created attachment 226041 [details] non-working yum.conf
I used od -c on the file and \n is the only thing to follow :3128 0000260 m : 3 1 2 8 \n
I had the same issue, but I think the "non numeric port" might be a red herring. For me if I use the documented: proxy= proxy_user= proxy_pass= Then it breaks... However if I use: proxy=http://proxy_user:proxy_pass@proxy.url Then it works! Give that a try.
