RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Internal Links: 1176219

Description Chris Snyder 2016-01-13 19:12:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
When attempting to reproduce bz 1176219 I discovered that the cache was no longer being used at all due to an unhandled exception in network communication that occurs before the silent usage of the status cache.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.16.7-1

The change in behavior can first be seen at commit: d0953939bb88199ea0f33ef7eee2521766075d50

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Register without a proxy
2) `subscription-manager repos --list`
3) `subscription-manager repos --list --proxy=auto-services.usersys.redhat.com:3128 --proxyuser=bad-username --proxypassword=bad-password`

Actual results:
"
Network error, unable to connect to server. Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.
"
Expected results:

The behavior described in bz 1176219 (use the cache to finish command execution albeit silently)
