[Spacewalk-list] rhnpush fails with uninformative error msg

Ignore that, I've got dispatcher working again. That wasn't the problem
apparently.

On the working server, when I successfully import via rhnpush, I see this
in /var/log/httpd/access_log:

112.12.4.12 - - [23/May/2016:11:39:33 +1000] "POST /XMLRPC HTTP/1.1" 200
11932 "-" "rhn.rpclib.py/2.5.77-1.el7"

When I do it on the server that doesn't work, I get this:

10.124.28.172 - - [23/May/2016:12:31:58 +1000] "POST /APP HTTP/1.1" 302 -
"-" "rhn.rpclib.py/2.5.77-1.el7"

So I'm getting a different HTTP codes in my apache server for this
rhn.rpclib.py....
