Description Alexander Todorov 2007-06-19 08:52:49 UTC
Description of problem:
urlgrabber is missing support for ssh or sftp protocols.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-urlgrabber-3.1.0-2


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. urlgrabber.urlopen('ssh://user@host:/path/to/file')
  
Actual results:
Exception and traceback occurs.

Expected results:
A valid file handle to the remote file.

Additional info:
This feature affects using yum with ssh based repos.
On the other hand on Debian/Ubuntu a simple apt-get with ssh://user@repo works fine.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2007-10-18 13:14:58 UTC
Alexander -- we're not going to do this as a RHEL update feature and I'm not
even sure that we'd want to do it within urlgrabber.  If you think that it's
really important, feel free to post to the yum list and see if you can get some
people interested in working on it upstream.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2007-10-18 13:22:54 UTC
