I'm afraid that an undefined behavior cannot be "fixed" in Libzypp unless it is defined in yum.
Push upstream (yum) to define that and fix accordingly, don't define your own incompatible way unless needed.

I think robustness on the network side can be achieved much better with the aria2 way.
However 2 ideas come to my mind. - make possible to open a media with multiple urls, and if the backend allows (like aria) we can pass all them. - the multiple urls seem useful for having a CD and http repo at the same time. If network is down, you use CD, if you dont have the CD loaded, you use network.
I think what I just described in my other mail is another valid usecase. (Although it is really an edge case.) The aria2 way helps where the download server serves metalinks, but it doesn't help for 3rd party repositories which just runs an ordinary Apache. So fallback URLs can be useful sometimes. Of course, otherwise I agree that in most cases that concern openSUSE the aria2 way is all that's needed. Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!"
