This issue is resolved and the fix will be coming out in the next release of rhn_register. The short term fix is to use a proxy name in the format of "http://foo.bar.com:8192" The comments in the config file indicate otherwise, but that will be fixed in the new version as well. |
Description of Problem: Proxy setting defined by rhn_register --configure is not correctly used - first 7 characters of the hostname are truncated. How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. rhn_register --configure 2. 1. enableProxy Yes, 2. httpProxy somename.somedomain:3128 3. tcpdump -s 300 host your_nameserver 4. rhn_register Actual Results: in tcpdump output can be seen that there is an "A" query for e.somedomain, i.e. for proxy name without first 7 characters. Expected Results: it shall be query for the right name. Additional Information: In rhnreg.py line 49 proxyHost = cfg.readEntry("httpProxy")[7:] helps to change from 7 to 0: proxyHost = cfg.readEntry("httpProxy")[0:] and then everything works fine.
