I was playing around with the versions parameter in the Open VSX components and noticed newer versions won't work. Open VSX registry changed the blob URLs

For example

curl https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0 |jq

Returns

...
 "files": {
    "download": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.0.vsix",
    "manifest": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/package.json",
    "readme": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/README.md",
    "changelog": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/CHANGELOG.md",
    "license": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/LICENSE.txt",
    "icon": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/logo.png",
    "vsixmanifest": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/extension.vsixmanifest",
    "sha256": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.0.sha256",
    "signature": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.0.sigzip",
    "publicKey": "https://open-vsx.org/api/-/public-key/14ccb407-4e79-41ed-be5a-6d608325c45a"
  }
...

And the api url redirects to a newer blob url

wget https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.0.vsix
HTTP response 302  [https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/file/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.0.vsix]

HTTP response 200  [https://openvsx.eclipsecontent.org/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.0/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.0.vsix]

Thus, the switch proposal

@tuxtor Do you mean from this plugin the follow redirect does not work?

@s1n7ax it does for old/legacy version. But it doesn't work for future versions. I believe due to a change on the infra side at openvsx

  1. Currently, nvim-java uses the Windows.net blob URL. For example, if we consider the 0.40.1 version of vscode-java-test, the plugin resolves to the following URL:
wget https://openvsxorg.blob.core.windows.net/resources/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.1/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.1.vsix
Saving 'vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.1.vsix'
HTTP response 200 OK [https://openvsxorg.blob.core.windows.net/resources/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.1/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.1.vsix]

However the API delivers a different URL

curl https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.1 |jq |grep download

    "download": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.40.1/file/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.40.1.vsix
  1. On newer versions -e.g. 0.46.0- the windows blob API would not work
wget https://openvsxorg.blob.core.windows.net/resources/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.46.0/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.46.0.vsix
HTTP ERROR response 404 The specified blob does not exi [https://openvsxorg.blob.core.windows.net/resources/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.46.0/vscjava.vscode-java-tvscjava.vscode-java- 100% [==============================================================================================================>]     215     --.-KB/s

However, using the URL from the API it works and resolves to a different domain

curl https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.46.0 |jq |grep download
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed  Time    Time    Time   Current

  "downloadCount": 25973658,

    "download": "https://open-vsx.org/api/vscjava/vscode-java-test/0.46.0/file/vscjava.vscode-java-test-0.46.0.vsix",

So we could either

  1. Use the URL base from the API, which triggers a redirection
  2. Use the resolved URL base with support for newer versions

Hence my proposal is to use the second approach.
