ftp-proxy does not work

[René Matthäi]

Hi,

I am using smart 0.41 and it doesn't work with our proxy. I figured out 
that maybe that is because rpm doesn't work with my proxy either. 
Apparently rpm doesn't take my global proxy settings into account 
(http_proxy, ftp_proxy). That's what I used to tell smart explicitly to 
use a proxy ($http_proxy and $ftp_proxy are set AND WORK with all other 
programs, including wget ftp://....):

smart config --set ftp-proxy=http://proxy.ourproxyhost.de:80

Yes, our proxy accepts ftp requests by a http request on port 80 (and 
this is the only way it works and works perfectly, apart from 
smart/rpm).

There IS an proxy option in smart and rpm, but none of them seems to 
work. smart just sticks at the point where trying to download from the 
first ftp-server saying " [0%]", and rpm doesn't do anything further 
either.

Do you know how I tell rpm/smart to use the proxy in my case?
