Description of problem: When using yum behind a proxy (i.e. by setting http(s)_proxy environment variables), use of a proxy user name containing an at sign (@), like an email address, prevents yum from working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.28-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set environment variable http_proxy export http_proxy=http://username:password@host:port 2. Update using yum from a command line: Ok 3. Set environment variable http_proxy export http_proxy=http://username@domain.com:password@host:port 4. Update from a repo using yum from a command line: Ko Actual results: yum is not able to connect to a proxy when an at sign (@) is present in the proxy user name Expected results: yum is able to work through a proxy when proxy authentication involves using a password containing an at sign (@), like many ISP force their customers to use Additional info: FedoraForum thread reporting the incident: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1447849#post1447849
Please note that in the original submission, Expected results, where it says: "using a password" should read "using a user name".
try using replacing @ with %40. export http_proxy=http://username%40domain.com:password@host:port
It works here. Requesting additional feedback from fedoraforum.org, too. Thanks a lot.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
