[rhn-users] Yum, rhn and an apache proxy : problems

[Benoit Guguin]

Well, I've found

It's a bug in the crypto lib of python.  It doesn't add the HOST in the 
headers of the HTTP/1.1 ...

In the file /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/M2Crypto/httpslib.py , add at the 
line 165 :
        msg = msg + "Host: %s:%d\r\n" % (self._real_host, self._real_port)

cheers
