How to enable the HTTP proxy in OpenSuse 12.3.

See the original page here: this is how to add a http proxy to OpenSUSE so that the zypper command will work correctly: http://www.securitronlinux.com/opensuse-12-3-tips-and-tricks-for-using-your-new-linux-system/#proxy.

Just add these lines to the /etc/sysconfig/proxy and then save and you should now be able to install software packages through the proxy with no problems.

PROXY_ENABLED="yes"
 
## Type:	string
## Default:	""
#
# Some programs (e.g. lynx, arena and wget) support proxies, if set in
# the environment. 
# Example: HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.provider.de:3128/"
HTTP_PROXY="John.smith:[email protected]"
 
## Type:	string
