Description Andrew Nelson 2001-07-19 19:33:13 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When targetting a URL via rpm -ivh, if you typo the filename, it 
returns "Unknown error". It should return an error in format of wget, 
ie "File not found." (an HTTP 404 error)


How Reproducible:
# rpm -ivh http://foo.cmo/rpms/goodstuff-1-1.i376.rpm


Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:
Less than helpful error message

Expected Results:
Only slightly less than helpful error message

Additional Information:
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2001-12-09 18:58:10 UTC 
rpm has a very primitive http client, just enough to
get the job done. Use wget rather than rpm if you
wish a more powerful http client.
