Yes, an authenticating proxy.
I should have mentioned that the curlrc is only needed if you need a username and password to log into the proxy. The actual proxy server and port settings are taken from one of the *_proxy environment variables.
Ah. don't have the ol' authenticating proxy set up yet. Another project on the list. So how does that tie into the SuSEwatcher/YOU and how they can't/can work with the YOU servers? I'm thinking that the authenticating proxy is on my end since the YOU servers aren't requiring any authentication right? So why would I need .curlrc to keep SuSEwatcher and YOU able to talk to the same destination? I assumed that SuSEwatcher and YOU used an identical method of contacting and querying the servers for info on updates but apparently not. Is this a bug or am I not seeing the reason for different ways to get at the same (?) information? Thanks, Stan
