@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverdoesn't seem like it01:41:54
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenbut someone else ran the command on another system and got a different result? is the result also dependend on the sqlite DB state?01:42:08
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansen* but someone else ran the command on another system and got a different result? is the result also dependent on the sqlite DB state?01:42:17
@nh2:matrix.orgnh2looks like that message should be improved to make that clear01:42:26
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverunlikely, given that this thing fails at the http download stage01:42:29
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenI am a complete Nix noob so I'm learning as I go, if I ask a dumb question, sorry01:42:31
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverplease ask more dumb questions01:43:03
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenOk, duh, the .jar file is coming from Google in this instance01:43:07
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverso the http server is sending a bad header01:43:30
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverand we don't handle that particularly gracefully01:43:37
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever it looks like in TransferItem::writeCallback we call makeDecompressionSink 01:44:14
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever passing the encoding straight from the http header to libarchive 01:44:32
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever and libarchive goes "i literally have no idea what None is" 01:44:41
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenHow big is the buffer that stores the encoding string?01:45:09
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever normally it should only give what we send as Accept-Encoding 01:45:21
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenThis is libcurl right, I guess nix includes in01:45:22
@nh2:matrix.orgnh2

Repro: curl --silent --head 'https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/3.141/selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar' | grep -i content-encoding
I get

x-goog-stored-content-encoding: None
content-encoding: None

hexa do you get that also, given it worked for you?

01:45:27
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansen* This is libcurl right, I guess nix includes it01:45:31
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenyup01:45:50
@hexa:lossy.networkhexayes01:45:51
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeveri'm not sure why but i think we handle decompression ourselves01:45:51
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenx-goog-stored-content-encoding: None01:45:53
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeveror at least piping that01:45:59
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenEven Google corroborates the bad info01:46:02
@hexa:lossy.networkhexai run lix fwiw01:46:06
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenSo I wonder if its something with the way they published the releases01:46:17
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeversomeone uploaded it with the wrong content-encoding01:46:20
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenOk, I'm going to update the selenium package which will alleviate this problem anyways01:46:28
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansenAnd if needed I can raise a bug for the Nix issue01:46:41
@jonhermansen:matrix.orgjonhermansendoes it happen on Lix?01:46:46
