Pulp

I have trouble synchronising the mirror.li.nux.ro/li.nux.ro/nux/dextop/el7/SRPMS repository via a BlueCoat proxy server.

There are two problems:
1) BlueCoat fails when scanning some files (I will complain to BlueCoat Systems about this)
2) pulp fails to pass on the error message.

Please find the reproduction method below.

[root@bumblebee ~]# pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id=nux-dextop-el7-source --feed=http://mirror.li.nux.ro/li.nux.ro/nux/dextop/el7/SRPMS --validate true --relative-url=nux/dextop/el7/SRPMS --serve-https false --serve-http true
[root@bumblebee ~]# pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id=nux-dextop-el7-source

Note that the "Individual package errors encountered during sync:" lack an error string.

When I attempt to download the files using firefox (also via the BlueCoat proxy server), the following error messages are shown as a web page:

I would like to see pulp report a sensible and helpful error message, instead of an empty message.
