Description Flags
rhsm.log from call to "subscription-manager repos --list-enabled --proxy=www.baidu.com" none

Description John Sefler 2016-01-22 21:44:11 UTC 
Created attachment 1117339 [details]
rhsm.log from call to "subscription-manager repos --list-enabled --proxy=www.baidu.com"

Description of problem:
Effectively I am re-opening original bug 968820 which states...

     After register and subscribe for the system, the cmd "repos --list
     --proxy" with a fake proxy server url will not stop running.

Actually it does stop running, but it takes a long time and the results appear to be successful (from cache) but why?  There is no indication for the apparently successful results.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.15-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.16.8-1.el6
python-rhsm: 1.16.6-1.el6


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
register and attach a subscription (not shown), then...

[root@jsefler-6 ~]# echo "" > /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# 
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# time subscription-manager repos --list-enabled --proxy=www.baidu.com

[root@jsefler-6 ~]# 




Actual results:
Notice that it took over 7 minutes to get a response.  Once it came, the exitcode was a successful 0 and the results appear good.  How was that possible given an invalid proxy?
Notice that there were nine errors logged for this call including seven timeouts.


Expected results:
Originally this test reported the following stderr with an exitcode of 70 (EX_SOFTWARE)
Network error, unable to connect to server. Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.

Today I'm not sure what to expect.  Two possibilities incluide:
  A. a Network Error just like the original
  B. a cached result (with some indicator that it came from cache).

A fix for this is available in upstream master as of the commit below

commit 7ce6801fc1cc38edcdeb75dfb5f0d1f8a6398c68
Author: William Poteat <wpoteat>
Date:   Tue Mar 1 13:30:41 2016 -0500

    1301215: Test proxy connection before making call
    1176219: Stop before cache is returned when using bad proxy options
    
    Uses socket connect as test for viability of proxy. Only checks when proxy
    settings are on the command line.
