yast2:curl:"problem 2 bad chunky"

using the current CD installation of 11.0, I got stuck behind my proxy when using “yast” and “curl” to update the distribution packages.

“curl” scoffs with this “problem 2 bad chunky”.
I tried to add in /root/.curlrc:

–http1.0
–location

and the ‘curl’ command line worked again,
but ‘yast’ still would not take into account the changes in
/root/.curlrc

.
can we use ‘wget’ with ‘yast’ instead?
or where to change this python-curl stuff to ingest the ‘.curlrc’ config uration?

please help!

This subforum is about the usage of the forums themselves (as the name says).

You question belongs somewhere else like “Install/boot/login”. Maybe someone with enough power can move it there.

ok, I reposted it in the right forum. sorry for the upset!

Never mind, I am not upset at all, but the right place might attract the right guru to your problem :wink:
