As a user, I can conveniently define global importer settings
Description
Pulp RPM importer lacks (IMO) key functionality of a "no_proxy" key-value pair to go alongside the existing proxy-related key-value pairs.
Within enterprises that employ a proxy at the border that doesn't loop back into the border for local traffic, Pulp / Satellite 6 customers have to make the choice of syncing only external content (cdn.redhat.com / epel mirrors) or internal content.
Pulp should allow per-repository proxy values, or should globally employ a "no_proxy = *.mycompany.com" coping scheme to allow those with strict border proxies a way to effectively use Pulp / Satellite 6.1+.
Posted to the mailing list to get a sanity check that I've not somehow missed something and this functionality already exists - I'll come back and close this if it turns out I just missed something simple...
For the Red Hatters here, I'm a paying customer and have also lodged CASE 01506495 with Red Hat support. We can't really use Satellite 6 until this is sorted.
Specifically, something like this should work:
[root@satellite6.my-college.edu conf.d]# less /etc/pulp/server/plugins.conf.d/yum_importer.json
{
"proxy_host": "http://proxy.my-college.edu",
"proxy_port": 8080,
"no_proxy": "*.my-college.edu",
"proxy_username": "",
"proxy_password": ""
}

- Subject changed from No RPM importer support for "no_proxy" key-value to As a user, I can conveniently define global importer settings
- Groomed set to No
- Sprint Candidate set to No
Thank you for pointing this out. We need to re-think how we define proxies and other importer settings, and associate them with specific repos.
It is likely that as a direct user of pulp, you could set the proxy settings to None for the individual repos that you don't want to use the proxy. Then katello/satellite could potentially make use of that.
Any word on this issue?
Thanks
