Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

Description Oyvind Albrigtsen 2020-04-24 08:12:55 UTC

Description of problem:
From PR:
If an exception occurs, simply raise it. pycurl's perform() method can
generate a pycurl.error object, which does not support indexing and
attempting to do so will generate an exception that hides the original
exception.

Also, don't assume that the remote will return a JSON formatted response.
If it doesn't, a exception will occur accessing result which will not
raise the intended exception.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use wrong username/password or other parameter that makes the agent fail.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Might not get JSON response in some cases.

Expected results:
Handles the no JSON response case correctly.
