Hello, I recently submitted bug 4487 which addresses the inability to use http proxies with the auto installer:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=4487 I'd like to pick this up and do the work for this RFE. It looks fairly straight forward. The approach I was thinking to take is to add the proxy value into the manifest, as in: <ai_manifest name="default"> <ai_pkg_repo_default_authority> <main url="http://pkg.opensolaris.org"; authname="opensolaris.org"/> <mirror url=""/> <proxy>http://10.1.149.91:8080</proxy> </ai_pkg_repo_default_authority> <ai_packages> </ai_packages> </ai_manifest> During installation, the proxy value would then simply be exported into the environment before the pkg transfer is initiated from transfer_mod.py thereby allowing the 'pkg' command to pick it up. Comments? Thanks --Jens
