Describe the Bug
In puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt#1170, @beliys report an issue with a ASCII armored GPG key that appear as a binary file after download. The issue can be reproduced using this minimal example:
file { '/tmp/with-a-redirect':
source => 'https://packagecloud.io/timescale/timescaledb/gpgkey',
}
file { '/tmp/no-redirect':
# this URL is not stable, get a "fresh" one with:
# curl -sI https://packagecloud.io/timescale/timescaledb/gpgkey | awk '$1 == "location:" { print $2 }'
source => 'https://d3fo0g5hm7lbuv.cloudfront.net/9356/8817/gpg/timescale-timescaledb-E7391C94080429FF.pub.gpg?Expires=1712081971&Signature=Zsi2Zk5uchwGUGflDbFNncWN4Nj8tBhsgg2tho5CaEcAwJ3MpkphBxz9kSBAAr4zlyp45j8zPV8Cehc9HCWY0FwmrPiONjmibmCWXuF9DyluaH-qd2mL9WTQ3WOLMVoAEuEM8-u~JfBeANoxevR-hSGf7rMjgVH1HdseYkaRe8Tr729YE5GOkIkA~Xa93l~qLCuESTVw2-7P2BcWqd2c-4PAgdBBuqLzJfA9NUTOnLJqLGa76vn7rnGmhL2z9SSZSbrW7hOzRonMSbV3wgMfXflc98dXjq-qrRR4z7QWIAf6bPQf3OBcenGIXyk5Xo~2HsrhlGPP62gwANnvynNkWg__&Key-Pair-Id=K1ZMSF1EKC3AZL'
}The URL in the first file source redirects to the URL in the second file source.
Both downloaded files should have the same content in the end, but it happens that the first one seems to save the gzip compressed response from the final request, while the second one save the actual decompressed file (as expected).
