fyi: proxy and yum or up2date must put authentication in proxy fi eld

[Barker Michael-r43496]

FYI on using yum or up2date, the proxy_user and proxy_passwd variables and their GUI equivalents do not work trying to get through our proxy.    To get through our proxy these values must be set in the proxy address: http://username:password@proxy:port

Went through all the bugzilla reports, including patching some python file, blah blah blah and didn't see this anywhere - this was the trick.

If you want to see the error I was getting, someone else posted it this asian language page, the rest of which I can't read:
