Has anyone else encountered issues with RPMs that have a plus sign, '+', in the RPM file name? When I do a 'yum list' on my repository, it chokes on gtk+: localhdrpath= /var/cache/yum/test/headers/gtk+-1-1.2.10-22.i386.hdr for gtk+ i386 getting /var/cache/yum/test/headers/gtk+-1-1.2.10-22.i386.hdr failover: baseURL = https://192.168.3.26:8088/RPMS/ failover: path = /headers/gtk+-1-1.2.10-22.i386.hdr retrygrab() failed for: https://192.168.3.26:8088/RPMS//headers/gtk+-1-1.2.10-22.i386.hdr Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file https://192.168.3.26:8088/RPMS//headers/gtk+-1-1.2.10-22.i386.hdr [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: /headers/gtk -1-1.2.10-22.i386.hdr As you can see from the HTTP Error 404, the web server is translating the plus sign to a space and then of course it does not find the file. The web server is Tomcat. The fix seems to be to have yum encode the URL (change the plus sign to %2B) before requesting it from the web server. I know little about Python, but it looks like running the URL through the urllib.quote() function would work. Has anyone else seen this and found a workaround or should I look at modifying the source? Thanks, Bradley
