When using yum (an automatic updater) on Fedora Core 1, I am trying to take advantage of an http_proxy variable. The problem is that our proxy userIDs contain an "@" character, and when the variable has the following format: http_proxy=http://userID@my_domain:passwd@my_proxy:8080/ I am getting the following error: [Errno 7] HTTP Error (InvalidURL): nonnumeric port: 'passwd@my_proxy:8080' Would it be possible to change the way 'userID:passwd' string is parsed? Maybe by allowing a delimiter around that string? Thank you very much for your co-opeartion. Best regards Marcin

Logged In: YES user_id=43607 Does it work to encode the @ as %40, so making it http_proxy=http://userID%40my_domain:passwd@my_proxy:8080/? In that case I don't think this needs to be implemented.
