Not quite, if you are just setting "http_proxy=http://blah"; in your profile and you don't want yum to use that, then just install the plugin. The main usecase for proxy=_none_ is if you have proxy="http://blah"; in yum.conf, but you want an internal only repo. to go directly ... then in the configuration for that repo. you set prox=_none_ and then that repo. acts as if you hadn't set anything for proxy (and so uses the env. variable, if present, or nothing). > If so, I believe the only problem is that a mirrorlist would break this > in my existing case.

You might want to create an upstream python bug against urllib2, however it is very likely that yum/urlgrabber will move to using pycurl in the next 6 months ... to fix this, and other issues. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx C String APIs use too much memory? ustr: length, ref count, size and read-only/fixed.
