Rye installation on WSL2 Ubuntu fails. Script shows error because uv cannot be downloaded

[mc51]

Steps to Reproduce

Trying to install rye on Linux with the suggest method:

curl -sSf https://rye.astral.sh/get | RYE_INSTALL_OPTION="--yes" bash

Expected Result

Rye should be installed fully and without errors. It should work after installation.

Actual Result

I'm getting this error during install:

Bootstrapping rye internals
error: download of https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/download/0.2.22/uv-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz failed

Caused by:
    [6] Couldn't resolve host name (Could not resolve host: github.com)

The rye command itself is available after install but it's not usable. When running e.g. rye add requests, I'm getting the same problem:

$ rye add requests
Bootstrapping rye internals
error: error bootstrapping venv

Caused by:
    0: download of https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/download/0.2.22/uv-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz failed
    1: [6] Couldn't resolve host name (Could not resolve host: objects.githubusercontent.com)

My guess is, this is because https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/download/0.2.22/uv-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz is receiving a 302 response with the actual file location. For example, curl doesn't seem to handle that correctly. If I do curl -O https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/download/0.2.22/uv-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz the created file is empty. However, if we instruct curl to follow the redirect, it works: curl -L -O https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/download/0.2.22/uv-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz. I suspect the same behavior during installation. I'll try to take a look at the code to confirm, after posting this.

/e: This doesn't seem to be the case. As far as I can tell, the used curl library should be following the redirect as specified here.

This may be a duplicate of #1212, are you behind any sort of corporate firewall?

[mc51]

Yes, I think this is a duplicate as it sounds like the same issue. It happens in a corporate firewall environment and there is obviously some mitm going on. But the error message is strange and also the fact that downloading the file via curl is no problem. I'm closing this and trying to contribute to the solution in the other issue.
