Compressed App provider could better use the HTTP Protocol about puppet-boxen HOT 4 CLOSED

You can set a flavor param on the resource to specify whether to treat it as a zipball, tarball, etc.

We'd happily accept PRs to utilize the metadata to do some smarter inferencing or follow redirects.

I know this is an old comment, but FWIW, I was able to work around this issue luca pointed out simply by using flavor => 'zip' in the package declaration for a compressed_app package whose source url didn't end in .zip.

@bwnoll Any chance you could provide an example ?

Example for @njia

  package { 'name of package':
    provider => 'compressed_app',
    source   => 'https://www.packagelocation.com/example/no_file_extension',
    flavor   => 'zip',
  }
