install module via rpm-> behind a proxy

[cko]

hi,

I'm trying to run the following manifest on my puppet agent: (snippet)

   package { 'check_mk-agent-logwatch-1.2.3i1-1.noarch':
      provider => 'rpm',
      ensure   => installed,
      source   => 'http : // mathias-kettner.de/download/check_mk-agent-logwatch-1.2.3i1-1.noarch.rpm',
      require  => Package['xinetd']
   }

(please note that i had to change the link in the manifest because of insufficient karma.

This results in an error:

Execution of '/bin/rpm -i http : //mathias-kettner.de/download/checkmk-agent-1.2.3i1-1.noarch.rpm' returned 1: curl: (7) couldn't connect to host error: skipping http : //mathias-kettner.de/download/checkmk-agent-1.2.3i1-1.noarch.rpm - transfer failed

Now here is the clue: my company doesnt want to set a globaly proxy on our services (e.g. export=http-proxy ...).

Is there any other way to "tell" puppet to use our http-proxy for the installation?

Tell rpm to use the proxy. It has config files and macros for httpproxy.
