[Bug 227513] New: Missing username/password in $http_proxy and friends
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227513 Summary: Missing username/password in $http_proxy and friends Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mludvig@logix.net.nz QAContact: qa@suse.de I need to supply username and password for my webproxy. Once set in Yast Proxy module it's supposed to be exported to http_proxy (and https_proxy, ftp_proxy) environment variables. Although the proxy hostname and port are exported as expected the username and password part is missing. I.e. instead of http_proxy=http://user:password@proxyhost:3128 I get only http_proxy=http://proxyhost:3128 which is of not much use for programs like wget. Indeed I set it up manually in .bashrc but I believe it should be done by Yast for me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It's perfectly reproducible and not difficult at all to verify ;-) You don't even need a proxy that requires authorization, all you have to do is to check the env variable after setting the proxy in YaST (and obviously logout && login again). Anyway, it appears that login/password is not available to ordinary users as yet therefore making this bug a dependency to bug #227511 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I suggest for /etc/profile.d/profile.sh around line 47 and below to check ~/.curlrc to see if there is a password available and pass it to $http_proxy if it was. That way even programs like wget that are not based on curl will have enough information to reach the net. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

To reiterate - using Yast2 to set the proxy settings does *not* save/set the username and password in /etc/sysconfig/proxy. This causes things like zypper to fail on authentication. If I manually set the HTTP_PROXY variable (adding the user/password) then all is well. I have attached my y2 logs, a screen shot, and the resultant /etc/sysconfig/proxy file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Instead, they were written into /root/.curlrc file, but with incorrect syntax, so I don't quite understand how it could possibly work in beta2 :) This incorrect .curlrc issue should be now fixed (bug #305163), but I don't know if zypper checks this file for user/password. Jano, can you comment? But please note that this bug is about something different - about user and password being stored in root's $HOME only and not being accessible to normal users. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This incorrect .curlrc issue should be now fixed (bug #305163), but I don't know if zypper checks this file for user/password. Jano, can you comment?
Yes, zypper (libzypp) reads it from $HOME/.curlrc. You can also specify it in the repository URL using URL parameters "proxyuser" and "proxypassword" (this actually takes preference over reading .curlrc). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The .curlrc file has the correct format, and curl itself works with no problems (also, the proxy environment variables are set correctly). Unfortunately, zypper now refuses to authenticate with the proxy. We have a workaround - we have set up Squid so that squid does the authentication with the external proxy. We then set the local proxy settings to point at Squid with no authentication required. This allows zypper to work correctly. I have attached a tarball containing: * screenshot of yast failing to add external repository + curl managing to download * All the Yast logs * zypper logs while failing to add repository * my .curlrc (which is correct) * tcpdump log of zypper attempting to authenticate
From everything I've seen, it looks to me like zypper attempts to get the xml file via the proxy; the proxy requests authentication; zypper gives up (i.e. does not send proxy authentication response) thinking it's got a permanent error (?)

But I don't know of any application that would read USER/PASSWD from the environment, so an addition like this would only make sense if anyone was willing to add patches to at least the most common tools and browsers (mozilla,w3m,wget,curl,...)
Here are some apps that are able to read $http_proxy env. variable with user & password: * wget, lynx, (e)links, Konqueror * Firefox - but only after installing an extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/cs/firefox/addon/3896 As for the other apps, it is more easy to find out what does not work with $http_proxy with user/passwd (mplayer, git,...) than something that does :( Certainly YaST and libzypp (which is curl-based) ignore $http_proxy and read sysconfig and .curlrc directly. Maybe it makes sense to file a feature request.
