I don't see it in pykickstart and dont see it inthe args that loader receives. not 100% sure though, only 99% :)I'm going to resurrect a trick I employed for Taroon beta; it's documented in the list's archives.I've used squid in reverse proxy mode. It works great if you're able to set the url in the kickstart file somehow.
I set a DNAT rule on an intermediate box.Ordinarily I install from a local system on my LAN, so I've never needed a proxy. This time, the target system's on the wrong side of a slow wireless link and the Internet at large is faster. However, I wanted to cache for reruns.
I can now report the proxy settings don't come up with an interactive kickstart.
With taroon, the problem was a little different, Anaconda was using a duff host: header, so I had to interpose a local Apache to fix it. I don't recall a problem with proxy then, but perhaps I was doing an interactive not-ks install off the RH servers, or perhaps I was using transparent proxy.
