clear now that the description is incorrect - scroll to end, it's a usability issue ....

When specifying a connector which results in a http redirect ie

  - url: http://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=snapshots&g=org.odpi.egeria&a=egeria-connector-resource-jdbc&v=3.13-SNAPSHOT"
    filename: egeria-connector-resource-jdbc.jar

The download will 'fail'. Or rather it appears to work fine, but hasn't actually downloaded the file, only the http response indicating the file has moved.

The charts need to be updated to follow redirects

Other possible future considerations

  • Could we do any other validation?
  • Should the user be able to run a script to get the files how they wish

Neither of the above will be done here

This error was not due to missing -L - in fact '--location' is already specified.

In this case the problem was the input file which had misbalanced quotes on the url ....

We need to think how to make this more usable....
