From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: When using python-urlgrabber (used by yum) behind a NTLM web proxy, urlgrabber will crash rather ungracefully. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.put yourself behind a micrsoft proxy server (eugh i know) 2.run 'export http_proxy="http://trn\\kavando:mypassword@192.168.45.3:8080"' 3.run 'urlgrabber http://www.google.ca' Actual Results: [root@PROD-ASTR-GW1 ~]# urlgrabber http://www.google.ca Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/urlgrabber", line 124, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/urlgrabber", line 120, in main filename = urlgrab(url,filename=file,**kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 434, in urlgrab return default_grabber.urlgrab(url, filename, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 618, in urlgrab return self._retry(opts, retryfunc, url, filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 547, in _retry return apply(func, (opts,) + args, {}) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 604, in retryfunc fo = URLGrabberFileObject(url, filename, opts) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 727, in __init__ self._do_open() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 794, in _do_open fo, hdr = self._make_request(req, opener) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 896, in _make_request raise URLGrabError(4, _('IOError: %s') % (e, )) urlgrabber.grabber.URLGrabError: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Via: 1.0 PROXY45 Content-Length: 1242 Date: Thu, 08 Sep 2005 20:30:58 GMT Content-Type: text/html Server: GWS/2.1 Expected Results: It should have worked i guess :) Additional info:
Because i needed to get this system updated asap, i googled and found this http://www.geocities.com/rozmanov/ntlm/index.html i set it up to do NTLM -> Basic proxy translation, so to urlgrabber/yum it the proxy server appeared to be a no authentication proxy (rather then ntlm) and it works. So it would seem NTLM within urlgrabber is either broken, or not supported. That proxy/translator tool is however written in python.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Wow, umm... i submitted this bug 1.25 years ago. I no longer run Fedora Core, i use mainly centos now, but i will try to see if i can quickly setup a box of the latest release. If it takes another year to address my update however, i have a feeling we aren't going to get anywhere.
Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version.
