Possible issue with New Zealand Mirrors CentOS 6.6 x86_64 epel-release-6-8.noarch

Hi

Just letting you know that there may be an issue with yum and https for
your mirrors.

I haven't tested extensively but

Using CentOS 6.6 x86_64 epel-release-6-8.noarch

yum repolist
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, security
Determining fastest mirrors
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its
path and try again

wget '
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=x86_64&a...'
works as expected.

I am sure proxy configuration is not the issue as the test system has
direct Internet access.

I have confirmed that if I change the mirrorlist url to http things work as
expected

Thanks and let me know if I can provide an other information :)

Hi Again

Sorry but I think you can safely ignore my previous e-mail.
It seems to be a curl dependency issue so not an issue for you at all :)

curl -v https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=x86_64
