I assume that instead of 127.0.0.1, you mean the ip address of the spacewalk server, right?

like I stated before, I couldnt get wget to work with https, we we decided to do the following instead..

curl -O -k  
https://redhouse/download/package/8abd60ca2d6cc6a4e8/1284630970455/1/6660/spacewalk-koan-0.2.5-1.fc11.noarch.rpm 

for the 4 packages in question, BUT, when they get downloaded, they arent the real packages, they are umm..
well, im not sure what they are..
