Fedup not working through firewall.

[Robin Laing]

Hello,

I have a Fedora 19 machine at work that I would like to upgrade to 
Fedora 21 using fedup.  Running yum works on this machine.  Running 
fedup seems to be blocked by the firewall.

How do I make fedup use the proxy server?

Searching through bugzilla, it is supposed to be fixed but in my case it 
isn't working.

If I download files via the web browser they work.

Some of the log enteries:
