hello,
i'm working on deploying some kvm instances on a rhel6.2 hypervisor via
koan. our current prod cobbler server is running version 2.0.9 at the
moment, and on the hypervisor we are using koan v2.2.1 via epel.
it looks like the xmlrpc interface now uses https by default as per this
backtrace:
[pwright@dw3 ~]$ koan --server
puppet.lax.adconion.com --list=profiles

My guess is that post 2.2 koan prefer https for xmlrpc transport, and
the error is due to our old cobbler server not listening for https
traffic. is there a quick workaround for this - or should i just
finally get around to upgrading this old cobbler server i've been
ignoring for ages now?
thx!
