Well, I am not sure, whether you can download an RPM via xmlrpc from RHN. If you need the rhel6 rpm on your registered rhel6 server, why don't you just use: $ yumdownloader avahi-0.6.25-15.el6.x86_64 Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite. avahi-0.6.25-15.el6.x86_64.rpm | 218 kB 00:00 $
If you want to download packages using xmlrpc, you can do it from your Spacewalk server (but not from RHN). Check packages.getPackage and packages.getPackageUrl api calls on https://<your_spacewalk>/rhn/apidoc/handlers/PackagesHandler.jsp For examples how to use API, see: https://<your_spacewalk>/rhn/apidoc/scripts.jsp Regards, -- Tomas Lestach Red Hat Satellite Engineering, Red Hat ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rangaraj S" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2015 11:20:55 AM > Subject: [Spacewalk-list] How to get the RHEL binary using the provided > XMLRPC library - HTTP Response '401 > Authorization Required' > > > > > Hi, > > > I'm trying to get the rpm binary on my subscribed RHEL-6-Server > machine using the XMLRPC calls to the URL " > https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC ". > > > I did the following : > > > 1.
