Description of problem:network installing via http (mirror server). TCP config runs fine, but when entering host server name (input is split up in two lines), (PS: its a must -the user has to enter two lines), the program concatenates the two independent strings by adding a slash to each line. example: my entering: line 1 fedora.kiewel-online.de line 2 core/6/i386/os the program responds with (after about 5 minutes): unable to retrieve ....from http://fedora.kiewel-online.de//core/6/i386/os/ima.. PLEASE NOTE THE TWO SLASHES. BEING a c-programmer, I tried to enter a backslash at the end of the first line to cancel out one of the slashes, but in vain. When I enter one slash on one of the lines, the response is: "unable to retrieve... from ....online.de///core/6.... PLEASE NOTE THE THREE SLASHES IN THIS CASE. TO ME ITS AN OBVIOUS BUG - COULD HAPPEN TO ME, ADDING A SLASH TWICE. OF COURSE ITS ONLY MY BEST GUESS i wish I could help PS: I am not sure I entered the right component, but it must be something with "http", I guess.. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):boot.iso How reproducible:every time (tried about 10 times) Steps to Reproduce: 1.download boot.iso (fedora 6) and burn a CD (boot-only cd) 2.boot with the burned CD and tell about HTTP MEDIA, when prompted 3.enter your own tcp/ip configuration (works fine) and then enter the media- servers'. then you get the problem:(see description) Actual results:UNABLE TO RETRIEVE MEDIA FROM ... SERVERNAME//CORE/6/i386 PLEASE NOTE THE TWO SLASHES= ERROR DURING CONCATENATION OF THE TWO INPUT LINES (PS. WHY ON EARTH DID YOU HAVE TO SPLIT UP INPUT IN TWO LINES? THAT CAUSED THE TROUBLE, SORRY..) Expected results:connection to server, which of course was impossible. Additional info:I have said enough already.

httpunit is a java library for testing web applications, so you have filed this bug against the wrong component. Reassigning bug to anaconda.
Are you still seeing this with F7? Likely, this is just a problem with the printing of the URLs in the error messages. What do you see on tty3?
This bug seems the same as {bug 152378}, {bug 207278}, and {bug 237548}. I really wonder if anybody ever succeeded a netinstall of Fedora...
