Hi,
I'm trying to get the rpm binary on my subscribed RHEL-6-Server machine
using the XMLRPC calls to the URL "https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC".
I did the following :
1. Generated the systemid file using the command : rhn_register
2. Using the up2date.login call, I logged-in using my rhn account
(/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file).

This error is thrown for the HTTP GET Requests to the following URLs :

Am I missing something? Can someone please help me out?
Also, share any documentation regarding the APIs used.
(Could not relate to the only document I could find :

)
Thanks & Regards,
