[Pulp-list] Parallel repo sync gets stuck

[ben.stanley at exemail.com.au]

I found that there was a feed URL with two forward slashes in it:
Jan 7 11:55:29 bumblebee pulp: pulp_rpm.plugins.importers.yum.sync:INFO:
Downloading metadata from
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp//pulp/stable/2/7Server/x86_64/.

Syncronising this repository never completed:
pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id=pulp-2-el7-x86_64
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
              Synchronizing Repository [pulp-2-el7-x86_64]
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

This command may be exited via ctrl+c without affecting the request.

The task does not make progress from this point.

Updating the feed URL to remove the double slash:

pulp-admin rpm repo update --repo-id=pulp-2-el7-x86_64
--feed=http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/stable/2/7Server/x86_64

and then running a sync:
pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id=pulp-2-el7-x86_64

This time the sync completes successfully.

It seems that the URL should be validated at the time that the repo is
created/updated, rather than being left to cause a mysterious error when
the repo is synchronised?

Still using pulp 2.5.0 for now.
