Bug 208442

Description of problem:

When up2date is configured for server failover as described on

https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/help/client-config/rhn400/en/s1-latest-clients-configuring.jsp#S2-CLIENT-CONFIG-FAILOVER

the first URL is tried, but if that fails, up2date exits with an error message
instead of using the next URL.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rhnlib-1.8.7-4
up2date-4.4.69-25


How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and set the following two parameters (one
line each):

serverURL=https://station1.example.com/XMLRPC; https://satellite.example.com/XMLRPC;
noSSLServerURL=http://station1.example.com/XMLRPC;
http://satellite.example.com/XMLRPC;

2. Run "up2date -l"


Actual results:

An error has occurred:
exceptions.NameError
See /var/log/up2date for more information

Expected results:

station1.example.com is indeed down, but satellite.exampe.com is running.
up2date should access it after the connection to station1 failed.
