[cobbler] Problems in "cobber get-loaders" logic
There appear to be two problems in the Cobbler "get-loaders" logic, resulting in
failure if you need to use a proxy server:
downloading http://dgoodwin.fedorapeople.org/loaders/grub-0.97-x86_64.efi to
/var/lib/cobbler/loaders/grub-x86_64.efi
Exception occured: <class 'urlgrabber.grabber.URLGrabError'>
Exception value: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 7 - "Failed to connect to
2610:28:3090:3001:5054:ff:fedb:7f5a: Network is unreachable"
Note the odd connect-to address, there COULD be a third problem here. But for sure:
(1) Around line 65 of action_dlcontent.py, if either an HTTP or an FTP proxy is in the
environment, we'll try to reference an undefined "var" value
(2) The reason this does NOT cause a runtime Python error due to the missing
"var" is that the environment is EXTREMELY tiny during execution of this code,
and specifically doesn't contain any proxies:
os.environ: {'LANG': 'en_US.UTF-8', 'TERM': 'xterm',
'SHLVL': '2', 'PWD': '/', 'PATH':
'/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin', '_': '/usr/bin/cobblerd'}
The terminal session calling "cobbler get-loaders" DOES have the proxies
defined, both upper and lower case, and including HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.
