Description of problem: It looks like we missed a setting in our squid.conf that allows anaconda to retrieve lazy synced packages: range_offset_limit none Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.2 snap 5 How reproducible: Not always. Packages can sometimes be fetched if they are saved to the filesystem before anaconda retries a 10th time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download a RHEL kickstart via lazy sync 2. Provision a system using this kickstart 3. Actual results: Anaconda fails after 10 attempts to download a package. Expected results: Provisioning succeeds Additional info: We should probably check our generated squid.conf against pulp's documentation and make sure we aren't missing any other settings. http://pulp.readthedocs.org/en/latest/user-guide/deferred-download.html

It looks like in addition to range_offset_limit, we're also not setting the following option: minimum_object_size 0 kB I wonder if we need to be?
Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/14361 from this bug
Upstream bug component is WebUI
Regarding minimum_object_size, the default in squid is 0 kB already but since pulp sets it explicitly (it needs to be 0 kB), I'm going to add it to our squid configuration.
