Fails to follow HTTP redirects when downloading Mongo

[MattA48]

Versions

• NodeJS: Docker image node:18-buster
• mongodb-memory-server-*: 8.13.0
• mongodb(the binary version): 5.0.14
• mongodb(the js package): 0.0.0
• system: Docker - (Debian Buster)
  package: mongo-memory-server

What is the Problem?

When running tests, the attempted download of Mongo fails with
DownloadError: Download failed for url "https://fastdl.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-macos-x86_64-5.0.18.tgz", Details: Status Code isnt 200! (it is 302)

Trying to follow the link in Chrome, there is indeed a 302 redirect with message 'moved temporarily'

Code Example

Any simple script that requires mms to download a new Mongo

fastdl have a temporary redirect and the downloader isn't configured to respect this

[hasezoey]

true, the current implementation is not made to handle redirects, only direct urls.

from my quick look, the url provided https://fastdl.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-macos-x86_64-5.0.18.tgz resolves 200 and not 302

i dont think this will be changed anytime soon

[hasezoey]

i dont know why this was not properly tagged, but follow-redirects has been added and is in use, it will follow up to 2 redirects by default

added via #786, released since 8.14.0
