[Spacewalk-list] Proxy configuration - 1.0

Hi

I use the cli to add my distro's and manage my profiles and repos.
When installing clients from the server all works fine, ie <server> >
<client>
The issue is though as soon as i add a proxy into the installation the
client installation fails when trying to download packages. The
kickstart is downloaded from the server via the proxy fine, so is the
initrd and the stage2, anaconda starts i can see via the squid logs
the repo's xml being downloaded and then the installation starts. Its
at this point that the installer fails as it cane seem to download
X.rpm where the name of the rpm could change but is often gnutls. If i
use wget from the client from another terminal i can hit the proxy URL
and get the rpm so i dont see why the installer is having issues
getting the rpm. My install trees live at /trees and my repo's live at
/yum but as i mention if i dont use a proxy then i can install fine,
if i wget from the client to the proxy i can get the file and other
files _apart_ from rpm's seem fine through the proxy.

Anyone have any clues here? It seemed to be OK in 0.8 but i cant be certain.

thanks
