[Spacewalk-list] Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: centos6-x86_64. Please verify its path and try again

You shouldn't need to use HTTP, you need to install the server certificate
from spacewalk to your clients :), the url does get populated then and is
stoered in /var/rhn i think. If your server wasnt isnstalled with the fqdn
you need to fix it using spacewalk-hostname-rename
