rpm problem

[grim340]

i configured yum to use a proxy (/etc/yum.conf , /etc/profile , KDE proxy settings)
and that works great

my problem is how do i do the same for rpm ??

now i already have all of RPMFusion rpos installed
lucky from rpmfusion.org

but when i tried this using rpm
sudo rpm -ivh .....rpmfusion..../free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

(the ... are because i'm not allowed to post URL's untill after 15 post)

i get this error
..... free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Retrieving .....rpmfusion...../free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
error: skipping .......rpmfusion....../free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm - transfer failed

so, how do i setup rpm to use a proxy like i've done for yum??

download the file, and run rpm -ivh against a local copy.
so if you downloaded it to the default directory on most distros

/home/user/Downloads/rpmfusion.xx.xx.xxx.rpm
run

rpm -ivh /home/user/Downloads/rpmfusion*.rpm

it works when i've already downloaded it using Firefox
but i still get an error when tring to use rpm to download it.
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

i need to know how to setup rpm to use a proxy
like i did with yum??

[grim340]

i updated curl as well as rpm and i still get the same error.

why do you need to make proxy work with RPM? You've already got it installed by doing it locally haven't you?

If you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to, look at the RPM man page. search for proxy.

$ man rpm
/proxy

running /anything in the manpages will search for that string.
