[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 1.7 with SLES11-SP2 clients fails to download repomd.xml

[Maksymiuk, Piotr]

Hi

I'm serving spacewalk-1.7 on a fedora 16 box with a bunch of cents-5
clients and sles11 clients. The centos ones behave nicely, but I'm having
a bit of a problem with the SLES11 ones.

For SLES, i'm using spacewalk-client-setup found in the SLES repo, tagged
with version 1.2. When i try to issue zypper search or install something
from the server, zypper says :

zypper search foo
Refreshing service 'spacewalk'.
Retrieving repository 'SLES11-Extras for x86_64 VMWare' metadata [\]
Download (curl) error for
'http://spacewalk.ipf.webservices.frankfurt/XMLRPC/GET-REQ/sles11-extras-x8
6_64-vmware/repodata/repomd.xml?head_requests=no'
Error code: HTTP response: 502
Error message: The requested URL returned error: 502

On server side i don't see anything wrong :
Httpd Access.log

And rhn_server_xmlrpc.log
2012/05/26 13:25:04 +02:00 25549 10.188.30.113:

However sometimes (not always!) i see this in xmlrpc
2012/05/26 11:00:34 +02:00 19416 10.188.30.101:
server/apacheHandler.handler('ERROR', 'Got a GET call, but auth_client
declined', '/GET-REQ/sles11-sp2-vmware-updates-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml')

I'm not quite sure how to debug this further. Could anyone spare some
hints?
