Thanks for the reply.
My aim is to program the controlled updation of all my registered RHEL
machines in the network, via a single machine.
Hence, don't want to use yum (machine specific tool).
As for downloading the RPM via RHN. I think there are a few discussions
regarding that.
Also, we are thrown a "401 Authorization Required" error when accessing
listPackages as well as getPackages.
Wouldn't there be a "404 Not Found" or "405 Method Not Allowed", if there
was no provision to download?
The problem I think is with the Request. Either some header is wrong or
something is missing,
