Description Jim 2013-06-12 16:21:47 UTC
Description of problem:

When I try to mirror a centos mirror with pulp, should I include the trailing '/' in the URI, pulp finds itself unable to download the netinstall image:

Individual package errors encountered during sync:

Package: CentOS-6.4-x86_64-netinstall.iso
Error:   HTTP status code of 404                                                                                                                                                          
received for                                                                                                                                                                              
http://yum.singlehop.com/CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64//../../isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.4-x86_                                                                                                          
64-netinstall.iso  

It behaves properly without said trailing slash.

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

2.1.1-1

How reproducible:

imminently

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mirror a Centos repo, including a trailing '/'
2. Sync the repo
3. Read the error message

Actual results:

Error message, no download of netinstall iso

Expected results:

No error message, download of netinstall iso;

Hi Jim!

The CentOS repository does not publish an ISO manifest that I can find. Pulp looks for a file called PULP_MANIFEST at the given feed URL. For example, if your feed URL was http://redhat.com/isos, Pulp will attempt to download http://redhat.com/isos/PULP_MANIFEST. This manifest tells Pulp which ISOs are available in the feed.

I attempted to look for a manifest on singlehop.com, but I'm not seeing one:

http://yum.singlehop.com/CentOS/6.4/isos/x86_64/

What exact commands did you use to create and configure the Pulp repository that you are experiencing this problem with?

Comment 2 Randy Barlow 2013-06-21 14:34:17 UTC
Also, for all the times I referenced "Pulp" above, you should substitute "The Pulp ISO plugins".

Comment 3 Jim 2013-06-21 15:33:54 UTC
pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id="magic" --feed="http://yum.singlehop.com/CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64/"

As opposed to 

pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id="magic" --feed="http://yum.singlehop.com/CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64"


A 'pulp-admin rpm repo sync --repo-id="magic"' will work on the second, but not the first.

Comment 4 Michael Hrivnak 2013-07-30 21:53:07 UTC
To be clear, those are different URLs, and pulp (or any other http client) should not be expected to treat them the same. One of the easiest ways to illustrate this is when it comes to joining a relative path to a base path.

See here for the rules (especially noting the part about excluding characters to the right of the right-most "/"): http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.2.3

Joining "http://yum.singlehop.com/CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64/" with "repodata/repomd.xml" gets you "http://yum.singlehop.com/CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml", which is what you want.

Joining "http://yum.singlehop.com/CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64" with "repodata/repomd.xml" gets you "http://yum.singlehop.com/CentOS/6.4/os/repodata/repomd.xml, which is missing the "x86_64" segment.

Here is the same exercise done with python's standard library implementation: https://dpaste.de/t7O3z/

Sadly, this suggests that if pulp was going to be justified in failing on one of these forms, it was failing on the wrong one.

All of that said, either URL will work correctly with pulp's new importer. Should a user mistakenly leave off the trailing "/", pulp will recognize that error and assume the user meant a trailing "/" to be present before attempting any joins.

QE: this can be verified by finding any repository that includes a distribution, creating it in pulp with and without the trailing "/" on the feed, and doing a sync.

see above 2 comments. Repos that have distribution that has feed with or without ending '/' can be synced
