Description John Sefler 2012-10-22 21:05:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
As a follow-up from bug 838264 while performing some negative proxy tests, the user gets uninformative stdout messages prior to a more useful "Network error, unable to connect to server." message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-rhel59 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager python-rhsm
subscription-manager-1.0.23-1.el5
python-rhsm-1.0.10-1.el5


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@jsefler-rhel59 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a90f8763a8926d3013a8928f09b044b --proxy=bad-proxy
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
(-2, 'Name or service not known')
Network error, unable to connect to server.
Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.

  
Actual results:
above

Expected results:
something more informative than "(-2, 'Name or service not known')"

Comment 4 Adrian Likins 2012-12-05 20:28:45 UTC 
I think this behaviour is ok. (I'd prefer even more detailed error messages and finer grained error handling though). 

But for now, I don't think this is a blocker, so moving to 6.5
