Bug 833146

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #824530 +++

Description of problem:
Very similar to bug 664548, CLI calls to subscription-manager release --list are ignoring the command line proxy options.  If the user specifies a proxy using command line options, then these values should override corresponding proxy settings in the rhsm.conf file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.99.19-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.hostname subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com

[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# grep proxy /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf 
# an http proxy server to use
proxy_hostname=
# port for http proxy server
proxy_port=
# user name for authenticating to an http proxy, if needed
proxy_user=
# password for basic http proxy auth, if needed
proxy_password=

[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# subscription-manager register --username stage_test_12 --autosubscribe

Installed Product Current Status:

Status:               	Subscribed               

[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# subscription-manager release --list
6.1
6.2
6Server
^^^^^^^ THESE RESULTS DEMOSTRATE release --list WITHOUT ANY PROXY USAGE

[root@kvm-guest-02 ~]# subscription-manager release --list --proxy REDHAT:PORT --proxyuser SHADOW --proxypassword MAN
6.1
6.2
6Server
^^^^^^^ DID NOT EXPECT THESE RESULTS SINCE WE SPECIFIED (BOGUS) PROXY ARGUMENTS.
EXPECTED TO SEE: 
Network error, unable to connect to server.
Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.
  


Additional Info:
Not demonstrated above but demonstrated in the verification of bug 822965, the release --list command successfully acknowledges server proxy configurations set in the rhsm.conf file.  This new bug is concerned with release --list command failing to acknowledge proxy configuration values passed as command line arguments.

    824530: add test case for setting proxy cli for release

    824530: "release" command ignoring cli proxy options
    
    We were reading them, and setting them, then clobbering
    them with the cfg settings in the base class init. Refactor
    slightly to fix this.
