It looks like the urllib in 1.5.2 does not deal well with user:pass in proxies. In fact, it doesn't deal with them at all. I don't know how about 2.2. I don't have access to a password-based proxy (or do I?) to test on. In any event, we're not likely to work on a solution for yum 1.x, so you'll need to either find a way to upgrade (I THINK this is discussed on this list in the archives) or not use a password-based proxy. I will make password-based proxies a priority in urlgrabber TNV, although it may already Just Work. -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
