Summary

  • Detect archive formats from the final redirect URL when the configured HTTP URL has no recognizable extension.
  • Preserve the original logical URL for downloads, lockfiles, authentication, and destination naming.
  • Keep redirect filename hints safe and stable across resumable downloads.

Implementation

The HTTP downloader now returns only a validated basename hint from the final response URL. The HTTP backend uses that hint after explicit format configuration and before the original URL when selecting an extraction format. Redirect-derived extraction details are included in the cache identity, including a hash of the effective destination name for single-file compression, so equal payloads redirected as different filenames cannot share an incompatible extraction cache.

Resumable download metadata stores only the validated basename, never the full redirect URL, query string, fragment, credentials, or authorization headers. Windows-invalid and control characters are rejected. The redirect E2E uses an isolated temporary directory and port file for each run.

Verification

  • mise exec -- cargo test --all-features backend::http::tests — 20 passed
  • mise exec -- cargo test --all-features http::tests::test_download_filename_hint_excludes_unsafe_or_private_url_parts — passed
  • mise run test:e2e e2e/backend/test_http_redirect_format — passed
  • mise exec -- cargo check --all-features — passed
  • mise exec -- cargo clippy --workspace --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings — blocked by the pre-existing needless_return in src/system/packages/brew/cask.rs:1959, outside this PR

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

HTTP downloads retain safe filenames from final redirect URLs. The backend uses these filenames for format detection and cache keys. End-to-end tests cover redirected archives, explicit formats, raw executables, and lockfile URL preservation. Documentation reflects the new detection behavior.

Changes

Redirect-aware format detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Download metadata and resumable state
src/http.rs
Downloads extract, persist, and return safe effective filenames across fresh and resumed transfers.
Backend format detection and cache planning
src/backend/http.rs
Format detection uses explicit formats first, then effective filenames. Cache keys include redirected formats and compressed-binary destination names when required.
Redirect installation coverage and documentation
e2e/backend/test_http_redirect_format, docs/dev-tools/backends/http.md
Tests cover redirected archives, explicit format overrides, raw executable installation, and lockfile URL preservation. Documentation describes final-URL format detection.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 22dba

The redirect-aware archive detection and filename-hint changes are merge-ready after normal checks and review; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

A rabbit follows redirects fast,
And saves the safe name from the last.
Archives unpack, raw tools run,
Cache keys keep each format one.
The lockfile keeps its starting track.

create a unique temporary directory for each invocation, derive FIXTURE_DIR and
PORT_FILE from that directory, and remove the directory from the existing exit
trap. Ensure each run starts without a stale port file before the server writes
its new port.

In `@src/backend/http.rs`:
- Around line 311-313: Update the cache-key construction around
format_affects_cache to include a path-safe hash of the effective destination
name produced by clean_binary_name, preventing distinct artifact destinations
from sharing a key; add a regression test covering different names such as
alpha.gz and beta.gz.

In `@src/http.rs`:
- Around line 195-203: The download_filename_hint function must reject decoded
basenames containing platform-invalid filename characters, including colon,
asterisk, and control characters, in addition to separators and the existing
"."/".." checks. Validate the decoded filename using cross-platform filename
rules and return None for invalid metadata; preserve valid filename hints.

Greptile Summary

The PR detects archive formats from validated final-redirect filename hints while preserving the configured URL for download identity and user-facing state.

  • Persists the initial safe filename hint across resumable requests.
  • Includes redirect-derived extraction details in cache identities.
  • Adds unit and end-to-end coverage for redirect format detection, precedence, metadata safety, and resume stability.
  • Documents final-URL format detection behavior.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains; the current resume paths retain the filename associated with the initial partial bytes and clear both bytes and metadata together when restarting.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/http.rs Adds sanitized final-response filename metadata and preserves its initial identity across compatible resumed downloads, resolving both previous findings.
src/backend/http.rs Uses redirect-derived filenames for format selection and separates extraction caches when that metadata changes extraction behavior.
e2e/backend/test_http_redirect_format Covers redirected archive detection, explicit-format precedence, raw-file installation, and configured-URL lockfile preservation.
docs/dev-tools/backends/http.md Documents redirect-aware format detection and explicit-format precedence.
