I initially thought this would be an anachronism of zypp, but surprising enough, it is indeed the default behaviour of curl. (Listed in the FAQ even...)
Do you know what is the rationale on it ? sounds quite strange to me..
repomd.xml is special. It is small enough to simply fetch it. And since it contains hashes over all other (rpm-md) metadata files, it saves revalidation on the other metadata files.
yes, but IMHO it should be retrived the same way, if HTTP code 304 is the response then it simple uses the repomd.xml already stored on disk. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
