Interesting topic. Unfortunately I cannot add much except my own question: How do I set up an SSL proxy?

Is there a tool like proxifier for this task?

Hi,

I am using a proxy server which is common for the whole company. I am not really sure about the proxy type, but I think it is Web proxy. [Actually it is used for connecting to Internet]

Below is the error which I am getting when I try to install some software/while accessing
Computer -> YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings

ERROR

Download (curl) error for ‘http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/non-oss/repodata/repomd.xml’:
Error code:
Error message: Couldn’t resolve proxy ‘snowy1.wipro.com’

Also, I am getting error related to package kit often when I am using the computer. It comes as a dialog box and the error says:

repo-non-oss: Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)

Please help me out.
