closedProblem with provo-mirror.opensuse.org
100%
Description
I'm trying to update some Shibboleth packages on a RHEL server, and the
downloads keep hanging. After some investigation, I figured out that
the problem appears to be that provo-mirror.opensuse.org won't serve
requests with certain user agent strings. For example, this request
works fine:
GET /repositories/security:/shibboleth/CentOS_7/x86_64/liblog4shib1-1.0.9-3.2.x86_64.rpm HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Wget/1.14 (linux-gnu)
Accept: /
Host: provo-mirror.opensuse.org
Connection: Close
But this one hangs indefinitely:
GET /repositories/security:/shibboleth/CentOS_7/x86_64/liblog4shib1-1.0.9-3.2.x86_64.rpm HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: urlgrabber/3.10 yum/3.4.3
Host: provo-mirror.opensuse.org
Accept: /
Removing the space between "urlgrabber/3.10" and "yum/3.4.3" is
sufficient to make the request work. Per RFC 2616, this is a valid user
agent.
