Why not use wget to create a mirror of the updates on your local machine and point YOU to a directory?

Does/will Yast online update support HTTP (or at least http proxy)?
We are working on http support.
As ftp is a weird protocol anyway, I don't think it should be used so much, especially for important things like updates. I have some servers behind an MS Proxy Server and can't use online update, because yast doesn't support any proxy, and socksify + bouncer on a machine with MS Proxy client installed doesn't work, too (http/ssh works thoug). And once again, why is YOU not half as cool as apt-get ??
Feel free to use it.
thanks Markus
