http_archive reporting 404 Not Found instead of 302 Redirect #14866

tali · 2022-02-18T10:37:20Z

Description of the problem:

Bazel http_archive() does not follow a HTTPS redirect.
It complains about a 404 File not found while wget sees a 302 Found and then follows to the redirected URL.

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Try to build Gerrit when not all resources are in the cache.

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

Debian Linux (testing), but seeing the same problem on MacOS.

What's the output of `bazel info release`?

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

Similar bug, but http->https redirect:

This problem seems to be related to my ~/.netrc file. When I remove it, then Bazel happily fetches all resources.

Bencodes · 2022-02-23T00:26:51Z

We just ran into this issue as well and can also confirm that removing the netrc file allows http_archive to correctly follow the http-302 redirects.

Bencodes · 2022-03-01T07:12:11Z

I was able to root cause this and put up a fix here #14922. Bazel does actually follow 302s but it was breaking the encoding for the redirect-url in very subtle ways that may not produce a 200 when requested.

`mergeUrls` does not need to rebuild the URL from scratch if user information exists on the original URL. This behavior can actually break the 302 redirect due to subtle changes in the URL/encoding and should be avoided when possible. This fixes bazelbuild#14866 by correcting the implementation of `mergeUrls` to match the documentation that was added instead of rebuilding the URL from scratch which breaks the encoding of signed URLs. Closes bazelbuild#14922. PiperOrigin-RevId: 431935885 (cherry picked from commit 8cefb8b)
