State whether Satellite or RHN hosted 
- Satellite v5.2
 
Indicate the platform(s) (architectures) the problem is being reported against.
- RHEL 4 U7 i386 platform.

Provide clear and concise problem description as it is understood at the time of escalation
- API configchannel.lookupFileInfo doesn't return the file contents even though the documentation says it should.



How Reproducible
- Always

Steps to Reproduce
- Sample API 
#!/usr/bin/python

import xmlrpclib
server_url='https://<satellite-fqdn>/rpc/api'
xmlrpclib.Server(server_url)
sc = xmlrpclib.Server(server_url)
sk = sc.auth.login('<username>', '<password>')
result = sc.configchannel.lookupFileInfo(sk,'<config channel>',["<config-file-path>"])
print result[0]['contents']




Observed Behavior
- {'binary': False, 'macro-start-delimiter': '{|', 'group': 'root', 'creation': <DateTime '20090806T17:12:17' at 2b96c6b73ef0>, 'modified': <DateTime '20090806T17:12:17' at 2b96c6b73f38>, 'macro-end-delimiter': '|}', 'channel': 'akash-test-config-channel', 'owner': 'root', 'path': '/tmp/plain.sh', 'permissions': 644, 'type': 'file', 'md5': '482cd68390050eaf68a3feb4d0561afe', 'revision': 3}

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lookupfileinfo.py", line 11, in ?
    print result[0]['contents']
KeyError: 'contents'


Expected Behavior
- Contents of the file should have been displayed as the file was text file instead of traceback.
"this is test-1 file"

Action Required from SEG 
- We have also tested this against Satellite v5.3 and it works fine as expected. Contents of text file are displayed.
So would like a confirmation from SEG if this was a bug on Satellite v5.2.

Have attached satellite-debug of the test satellite on which issue was reproduced.
Let me know if you need any other details on this.

Regards,
Paresh
