Depicts the "//" double slash problem in URL

Description of problem:
When trying to boot a virtual machine using a cobbler generated.iso file, I encounter the following message: " Unable to retrive http://10.99.30.61//ks/dist/rhel5_64bit_dist/images/stage2.img " notice the "//" forward slashes. When I hit on ok, i get the chance to change the full path. See the attached picture that depicts this scenario.

So even after removing the "/" in front of the ks/dist/.... on the second line the problem re-occurs. So i can never get by this step as the URL is not valid because of the "//" double slashes bug.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk 1.7
cobbler.noarch 2.2.3-2.el5

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a Kickstart Profile
2.In /etc/rhn/rhn.conf change the value of the parameter cobbler.host to the ip address of the spacewalk server.
In /etc/cobbler/settings change the value of the parameters server and redhat_management_server to the ip-address of the spacewalk server.
3. run:
   cobbler get-loaders
   cobbler buildiso
4. boot the vm using the buildiso.iso file
  
Actual results:

you get the: http://yourip//... (double slash problem)

Expected results:

You should get the: http://yourip/ks/dist/rhel5_64bit_dist/images/stage2.img
