When I tried to test proxy under Network services-proxy it comes back as url malformed.
I am trying to use a free proxy service.On the checking update with xen updater it comes back as repo 1-7 Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s).

You could try using nslookup or dig with the IP address and see what it
resolves to.

I got nslookup name from the server address, look like this: linux-uq3h:/home/abicore # nslookup 216.239.116.65 -timeout=120
Server: 192.168.0.1
Address: 192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
65.116.239.216.in-addr.arpa name = c13-ss-2-lb.cnet.com.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
116.239.216.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns.cnet.com.
116.239.216.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns3.cnet.com.
116.239.216.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns2.cnet.com.
ns.cnet.com internet address = 216.239.127.70
ns2.cnet.com internet address = 216.239.123.201
ns3.cnet.com internet address = 62.108.138.30

Now I tried proxy.ns.cnet.com and I get:

  • <url> malformed

curl: (3) <url> malformed

  • About to connect() to proxy proxy.ns.cnet.com port 1080 (#0)
  • Trying 72.215.225.9… Connection refused
  • couldn’t connect to host
  • Closing connection #0

curl: (7) couldn’t connect to host
Now what I am doing wrong?

What type of proxy is this supposed to be?

http:// for http slot
http:// for http(s) slot

If you use the “test proxy settings” button in YaST, what result do you
get?

Try changing the URL to “http://proxy.arandomproxy.com:1080” (or whatever
the proxy is) - I think you probably need to include the scheme part of
the URL as well as just the DNS name and port.
