Hi Waldirio
Thank you for your suggestion. It would be the desired option if I wanted the distribution to be done through a RedHat machine. But, the thing is I'm actually trying to download & achieve this via a Windows machine. So, my preferred download option would be through HTTP (RHN-XMLRPC). It would be more helpful, if we could know the problems causing the 401 Error while accessing the mentioned URLS.
