On OpenSuse YasT proxy change writes conflicting settings to root's .curlrc file #5

The OpenSUSE YasT utility provides its own Proxy settings control. When used it will also write to /root/.curlrc

The format of this proxy setting is different from the standard .curlrc method and is not managed by ProxyManager.

The ProxyManager setting can conflict with the one set by YasT

Possible solution nr 1: Change the ProxyManager root_curl module to use the same setting specification format as used by YasT. But this will only affect the root .curlrc file and may leave the YasT proxy setting in an incomplete or indeterminate state.

Solution nr 2: Create a OpenSUSE_YAST module. The user might still disable one or both modules and create conflicts.
