<p class=MsoNormal>rhn.redhat.com was down most of this past weekend. Now a
tool that we use to download packages out of our channels is getting a 404
error. I suspect the maintenance performed changed the URL this tool uses to download
packages. Does anyone have any specifics as to the maintenance performed this
weekend? The tool I’m using is commercial software which is compiled so I
can’t see exactly what URL it’s trying to use to download the
packages. I suspect that this is the URL it’s trying to use: <a
href="https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?pid=%3cpkg">https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?pid=<pkg</a>
ID><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I call just <a
href="https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/software/details.pxt">https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/software/details.pxt</a>
I get a page not found error. I honestly don’t know whether or not this
URL worked prior to this weekend. I just grabbed this by doing a ‘strings’
on the binary I call to download the packages so that’s why I’m
suspecting this.<o:p></o:p></p>
