[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Proxies failing to serve large packages

[Matthew Madey]

Thanks for the responses. No, there are no other proxies between the
Spacewalk Proxy and client, and I don't have any timeout settings specified
in rhn.conf, yum.conf, or up2date.
If I register the client directly to the Spacewalk server, I'm able to
download the package without an issue.. so the problem definitely lies in
the caching mechanism of the Spacewalk proxy. What concerns me is the below
error I see on the Spacewalk Proxy when attempting to retrieve the package.

[Fri May 08 18:42:28 2015] [error] [client 172.20.165.201] mod_wsgi
(pid=9403): Exception occurred processing WSGI script
'/usr/share/rhn/wsgi/xmlrpc.py'.
[Fri May 08 18:42:28 2015] [error] [client 172.20.165.201] IOError: failed
to write data
