This is really strange because as you can see if you click on
http://yum.loway.ch/RPMS/repodata/primary.xml.gz you see that the file is being downloaded....
I tried setting up a proxy and installing QueueMetrics, that's what I get on the proxy log:
10.10.3.100 - - [02/Oct/2007:18:38:44 +0200] "GET http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=addons HTTP/1.1" 200 555 "-" "urlgrabber/3.1.0"
10.10.3.100 - - [02/Oct/2007:18:38:44 +0200] "GET http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os HTTP/1.1" 200 515 "-" "urlgrabber/3.1.0"
10.10.3.100 - - [02/Oct/2007:18:38:44 +0200] "GET http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=updates HTTP/1.1" 200 585 "-" "urlgrabber/3.1.0"
10.10.3.100 - - [02/Oct/2007:18:38:45 +0200] "GET http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=extras HTTP/1.1" 200 562 "-" "urlgrabber/3.1.0"It looks like only the mirrorlist is read through the proxy... may this be a yum bug?
