transparent proxy and yum update

Bardak
Hi.
I have problems with yum update from my fedora core 3 server behind an version 6.002 firewall running http proxy in transparent mode.
I keep getting a “[Errno -1] Header is not complete.” message when its downloading the header files.

I can’t see anything suspicious in the http-access log or the http-proxy log.

It works fine when disabling the proxy or if I exclude the server in the proxy settings.

Any suggestions on how I should to configure/fix that?

Cheers

    I've had better luck with yum by setting http_proxy environment variable so that it knows it's using a proxy instead of being transparent.

    Set it to :8080 in a shell init script somewhere.

    I usually create a custom shell script in /etc/profile.d for bash and csh that does this automatically whenever you log in for all users.
