[Spacewalk-list] Getting errors when connecting to the API

[Mathew Snyder]

Thanks. After testing your one-liner and finding it working (to a degree,
more on that in a minute) I moved the hash key/values into the new3 call
directly instead of passing "params" as the argument.

As for working to a degree. I'm now getting 404 Not Found. I got the same
result with the example Perl script. If I navigate to
https://host.example.com/rpc/api in a browser I get the same thing.

It seems I'm missing something on my server.

Have you ever seen that?
