Executing 'hwcert-backend submit' I receive "<urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>" when a proxy should be used.

Issue

  • Executing hwcert-backend submit I receive "" when a proxy should be used.
  • I just started to play around with the new hwcert-client package. There is one big problem when I try to submit:
# hwcert-backend submit
Could not reach catalog server https://hardware.redhat.com
<urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>

I already tried to setup the environment variables http_proxy or https_proxy, but no success. My test laboratory is behind a firewall, so no direct connection to the Red Hat catalog server is possible. What can I do?
