Hello all. Here at the office I am behind a proxy server. When I try using yum I get errors that look like this: ============ # yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Linux 1 - i386 - core retrygrab() failed for: http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/1/i386/core/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/1/i386/core/headers/header.info [Errno 6] ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length - something is wrong =========== Interestingly I get get the same file using wget. Interestingly one of the messages wget reports is: Length: unspecified [text/plain] =========== wget doesn't stumble and correctly brings across the file. So to make yum work I modified the python file and commented out this test.. Here's the diff: < if have_urllib2 or scheme != 'file': --- > #if have_urllib2 or scheme != 'file': 332,333c333,334 < if not hdr is None and not hdr.has_key('Content-Length'): < raise URLGrabError(6, _('ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length - something is wrong')) --- > #if not hdr is None and not hdr.has_key('Content-Length'): > # raise URLGrabError(6, _('ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length - something is wrong')) HTH. -Scott hunter.scott@xxxxxxx
