Getting urpmi to work through an http proxy is rather easy, once you
know how to do it :)   This only works using wget, not curl.  

either edit the /etc/wgetrc file or create a $HOME/.wgetrc file and put
the following lines in it:

http_proxy = proxyaddress:port
use_proxy = on
proxy_user = userid
proxy_passwd = passwd


This will allow wget to do http transfers through an authenticating http
proxy server.  It does not work with rpmdrake or grpmi for some reason,
but does work fine with urpmi
