Description of problem:
When I run spacewalk-repo-sync against a certain http repository I receive "errno 256: no more mirrors to try". When I wget all the content to a local folder and run spacewalk-repo-sync with --url=file:///folder it works like a charm. When I add this repository to a typical yum repo under /etc/yum.repos.d the repository is added without error and package list is read correctly.

Other http repositories from the same machine are synced correctly via spacewalk-repo-sync! I don't knwo what's wrong with that repository.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.6

How reproducible:
Not clear due to the fact that it seems to be drawn to that certain repository.

Steps to Reproduce:
