Hi Waldirio
Thank you for your suggestion. It would be the desired option if I wanted
the distribution to be done through a RedHat machine.
But, the thing is I'm actually trying to download & achieve this via a
Windows machine. So, my preferred download option would be through HTTP
(RHN-XMLRPC).
It would be more helpful, if we could know the problems causing the 401
Error while accessing the mentioned URLS.
