Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any Channel that we currently serve packages out of
2. Mark checkboxes next to multiple packages

4. Follow the instructions to "Download packages now", which redirects you to URL:

https://rhn.redhat.com/cgi-bin/download.pl/rhn-packages.tar

which generates the 500 error.

soc.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Matthew Galgoci 2006-05-12 21:48:16 UTC

The problem seems to be due to not properly escaping characters in rpm names,
such as the + symbol in libstdc++ or gcc-c++

Comment 2 Matthew Galgoci 2006-08-02 19:43:15 UTC

This problem is still present in the rhn 410 code base.

Comment 3 Ryan Newberry 2006-09-25 17:10:34 UTC

I cannot reproduce the issue in webdev or production. Is this maybe something
that is browser specific?

Comment 4 Matthew Galgoci 2006-09-25 18:38:41 UTC

Please stop by my cube for a demonstration. Thanks.

Comment 5 Ryan Newberry 2006-09-29 20:04:01 UTC

Just wondering if an account that can consistently cause this error to occur was
found

Comment 6 Ryan Newberry 2006-10-11 13:25:51 UTC

There isn't an account that can reproduce this bug consistently. Since I can't
reproduce it, closing it.
