Hi Seth and all, I'm not sure if this is a bug of the Python urllib, or a new 'feature' of yum 1.97, but authentication information in the URL is no longer accepted by yum. For example: http://wiggum:ralph@xxxxxxxxxx/path/to/ Complains about 'ralph' not being a valid HTTP port. Specifically: Error getting file http://wiggum:ralph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/path/to/headers/header.info [Errno 7] HTTP Error (InvalidURL): nonnumeric port: 'ralph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' This is on a Red Hat 9 system, freshly installed, with python-2.2.2-26. Any thoughts? (I'm going to dig in and see if I can spot this in yum itself, but I'm not so well-versed in python as to be confident I'll find it. So pointers are welcome.)
