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’ configuration?

please help!

and to add a bit of log,


…(31538) [zypp] MediaCurl.cc(doGetFileCopy):1276 curl error: 56: Received problem 2 in the chunky parser, temp file size 0 byte.
…(31538) [zypp] PathInfo.cc(_Log_Result):292 unlink /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001/suse/setup/descr/packages.DU.gz.new.zypp.bsVG5q

…(31538) [zypp] Exception.cc(log):119 Error message: Received problem 2 in the chunky parser
…(31538) [zypp] Exception.cc(log):119

which points to the “curl” implementation in the “zypp” package!

any one for an hint or a clue to unstuck this situation?
