As a user I can configure an importer to not use a globally-configured proxy.

Description
I am running Katello and for nearly all of my repos I want to have a proxy configured. However I am mirroring some repos from internal sources. The repository config seems to inherit from nectar defaults so you can actually override proxy_url on specific repos. But setting proxy_url to None, or "" doesn't work as expected. Because config.proxy_url=""==False in python and when I tried "None" it correctly becomes the string "None" and there is no proxy server named "None" in our network.
I found a workaround, a gross workaround, I manually edited the installed downloaders/threaded.py.

# Annoyingly, although the config is called 'proxy_url', the port and basic auth
# credentials are defined separately, so we have to build the url.
- if config.proxy_url and config.proxy_port:
+ if config.proxy_url and config.proxy_url != '_none_' and config.proxy_port:
parsed_url = urllib3_url.parse_url(config.proxy_url)
proxy_auth = None
if config.proxy_username and config.proxy_password:
I chose the value none because that's what yum uses and it made sense to me and might make sense to others. I'm not married to it. Just a thought.

Thanks for submitting this. It is a use case that others have also requested.
There is a workaround that's inconvenient, but it does work. When you request a sync through the REST API, you can include this override config:
{
"override_config": {
"proxy_host": null,
"proxy_password": null,
"proxy_port": null,
"proxy_username": null
}
}
Doing so causes the sync to ignore any global proxy settings.
We will address this use case likely with #3108.
