So that message is about cobblerd (XMLRPC -- required for the client)
and not cobbler web... it can also be having SELinux connection
issues.  (httpd_can_netwrok_connect, etc).    Try temporarily
disabling SELinux and see if resolves itself.

The http_port setting does not mean what you expect it does --
Anaconda recieves files over http, and there isn't much point in
encrypting this as Anaconda does not support encryption (nor is
PXE/TFTP especially so either).   If you are worried about someone
M2M'ing your installer I suggest you use local installs.

If you wish to experiment with rewrite rules for cobbler web, that's
up to you...
