[Spacewalk-list] rhn-clone-errata.py and proxy authenticaition

[Walid]

Hi,

I am using 0.4 version of the script "/repo/rhn-clone-errata.py" and still
not lucky yet in getting any erratas.

first case ) by using http_proxy
export http_proxy="http://user@proxy.company.com:8085"

and did set the RHNUSER and RHNPASS inside the script itself

[root at tlca064 source-sw]# /repo/rhn-clone-errata.py -s localhost -l RHNUSER
-p RHNPASS -c 'rhel-x86_64-server-5' --verbose

I get connection time out as below

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/repo/rhn-clone-errata.py", line 644, in ?
    main()
  File "/repo/rhn-clone-errata.py", line 564, in main
    myRHN =
RHNServer(svrRHN,userRHN,passRHN,options.proxyhost,options.proxyport)
  File "/repo/rhn-clone-errata.py", line 94, in __init__
    self.rhnSession = self.rhnLogin(self.login,self.password,0)
  File "/repo/rhn-clone-errata.py", line 98, in rhnLogin
    rhnSession=self.server.auth.login(login,password)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1096, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1383, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1129, in request
    self.send_content(h, request_body)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1243, in send_content
    connection.endheaders()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/httplib.py", line 804, in endheaders
    self._send_output()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/httplib.py", line 685, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/httplib.py", line 652, in send
    self.connect()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/httplib.py", line 1078, in connect
    sock.connect((self.host, self.port))
  File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (110, 'Connection timed out')


Second case) unset the http_proxy and try to use the proxy options

/repo/rhn-clone-errata.py -s localhost -l RHNUSER -p RHNPASS -c
'rhel-x86_64-server-5'  --verbose  --proxy-host='user:pass at proxy.comapny.com'
--proxy-port=80

gives Name or service not known as below

version='1.0'?>

<methodName>auth.login</methodName>

    socket.SOCK_STREAM):

if i remove the proxy user, and password

/repo/rhn-clone-errata.py -s localhost -l RHNUSER -p RHNPASS -c
'rhel-x86_64-server-5'  --verbose  --proxy-host='proxy.company.com'
--proxy-port=80

I get  the error "407 Proxy Authentication Required"

    headers
xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for rhn.redhat.comhttp://
rhn.redhat.com/rpc/api: 407 Proxy Authentication Required>





so it seems the problem is how to pass the user:pass for the proxy
authentication for rhn, does any one know how i can get through this, i will
delve into the code later, but if you have a solution or an updated version
of the script, it will be much appreciated


kind regards
