Comment 1 Radek Novacek 2013-07-29 07:28:51 UTC
It looks like the server subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com doesn't provide candlepin API. Do you have correct "prefix" configuration option specified?

Comment 2 Liushihui 2013-07-30 09:20:44 UTC
# Server prefix:
prefix = /subscription

# Server port:
port = 443

Comment 3 Radek Novacek 2013-07-30 10:13:44 UTC
It seems that the server doesn't implement the /status/ command that virt-who uses to test the connection.

What is running at subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com?

Comment 4 Liushihui 2013-07-31 06:20:19 UTC
Sorry, the stage candlepin server is not under our control so I don't know specificly what is running at subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com, I just know the version of the stage candlepin server is 0.8.16.

Comment 5 Radek Novacek 2013-08-01 09:55:07 UTC
It looks like this server disables the /status/ command. Virt-who can be modified to work without it.

Comment 6 Liushihui 2013-09-09 09:39:38 UTC
Hi Radek,
  I have checked this bug on the RHEL5.10-RC-1.3(20130829.2) against stage candlepin, this bug does not exist any more, if you also confirm this bug should be fixed now, could you please help move the bug status to "ON_QA"? I will move it to VERIFIED then.

Comment 7 Radek Novacek 2013-09-18 13:20:53 UTC
It was not bug in virt-who, should be fixed bin clonepin.

Comment 8 gaoshang 2013-09-24 02:46:46 UTC
per comment 6, mark this bug to VERIFIED

requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for
potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently

Comment 11 Radek Novacek 2014-11-05 12:19:37 UTC
This was not bug in virt-who so it was not been added to errata and did not get closed. Closing now.
