   I also run into this same issue whilst running Coder behind my self-hosted Pomerium instance

   Having the same issue. I run coder behind an authentication proxy (oauth2-proxy) which makes the download of coder binary fail. Not sure what's a good fix here, but a note in the installation instruction would be nice :)

   + trap waitonexit EXIT
   + mktemp -d -t coder.XXXXXX
   + BINARY_DIR=/tmp/coder.n4IrxE
   + BINARY_NAME=coder
   + BINARY_URL=https://code.mydomain.com/bin/coder-linux-amd64
   + cd /tmp/coder.n4IrxE
   + :
   + status=
   + command -v curl
   + curl -fsSL --compressed https://code.mydomain.com/bin/coder-linux-amd64 -o coder
   + break
   + chmod +x coder
   + export CODER_AGENT_AUTH=token
   + export CODER_AGENT_URL=https://code.mydomain.com/
   + exec ./coder agent
   ./coder: 3: Syntax error: newline unexpected
   

   That's the line that silently fails

   + curl -fsSL --compressed https://code.mydomain.com/bin/coder-linux-amd64 -o coder
   

   I have now disabled authentication /bin path prefix in my proxy settings which seems to work for now.

   Edit: Oh, and on /api/v2 as well, in case anyone comes across this.

   +1 this affected me as well for Cloudflared access.

   Edit: Not really hard blocked by this because of the work-arounds. But seems like something valuable to have "just work" out of the box since I think a lot of enterprises use cloudflared tunnels as part of their security model.

   I can concur. I had to bypass auth for both /api/v2 and /bin/coder-linux-amd64 to get this working with Cloudflare tunnels.

    Going to close this one as #13280 gets us a significant way there.
