[Yum] yum 2.6 weirdness

[Tom Diehl]

Hi all,

I am having a problem getting yum-2.6.1-0.fc5 working the way I want it to.

With 2.4 and previous versions of yum I could so something like

yum -c "http://yumconf.tntechs.com/yum.conf/yumconf.php?ver=5&fqdn=bullwinkle.tntechs.com&group=tntechs&dist=FC"
and yum would get a config file and do its thing.

For some reason that same command line with 2.6 gives me 

Config Error: No such config file http://yumconf.tntechs.com/yumconf.php?ver=...

If I do a wget http://yumconf.tntechs.com/yum... I get the proper config file.

In addition the webserver logs show no attempts to get the config file.

Has something changed wrt the -c option with yum-2.6 or am I making an obvious
error??

So far I have not been able to find anything via google or the man pg.

This is a freshly installed FC5 machine. Yum works normally when used with
the config files in /etc
