[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk client and proxy configuration

[Balint Szigeti]

hello all,

I think you would need to know, if the 

http_proxy/HTTP_PROXY
https_proxy/HTTPS_PROXY

environment variables are set, and your yum proxy settings are not set,
the client will NOT find the channels' repmod.xml files.

Once, the env variables are unset everything will work. I've just spend
5+ hours because the yum output wasn't too talkative. (Error: Cannot
retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: addons. Please
verify its path and try again)

For case study, curl helped. Just trying to reach the repmod.xml url
that the other system can reach and the 'problem' client couldn't and
then
I got an error, the fqdn wasn't available.......

I hope I can help to somebody. :)
