Summary0016587: Cockpit Software Updates does not honor proxy settings from /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
DescriptionWhen adding the following line to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

proxy=http://192.168.178.244:8080/

dnf and yum work perfectly with proxy from within a terminal while the Software Updates within Cockpit does not work. It says for example:

cannot update repo 'AppStream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8&arch=x86_64&repo=AppStream&infra=$infra [Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org]; Last error: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8&arch=x86_64&repo=AppStream&infra=$infra [Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org]
Steps To ReproduceAllow internet access only via proxy and add a proxy to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.
Tagscentos 8, cockpit, dnf yum

Are there any plans to address this? It's really annoying to not be able to use the feature in corporate environments that often force the use of a http-proxy (like mine;))

It is September 2020 now and this issue is still present in latest CentOS 8. - Just a reminder. See attached screenshot.

dnf.con

```

clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=True
skip_if_unavailable=False
installonly_limit=2
proxy=http://10.11.12.13:8080/

This is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1348843 . Comment #14 there says:

   You need to set the ProxyHTTP= key in /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf – this came up on #fedora-kde today and setting the key worked.

Does that work for you?
