Certain Silicon Labs CMSIS packs error with a -1 length

[jahess]

While updating the pack lists, certain packages from Silicon Labs report "illegal PDSC file size -1."

The devices with similar errors are:

EFM32GG11B_DFP.pdsc EFM32LG_DFP.pdsc EFM32TG11B_DFP.pdsc EFM32WG_DFP.pdsc EFM32GG12B_DFP.pdsc

Link to screenshots above seems to be incorrect (text is correct but the URL that is linked is wrong):

Which URL is wrong?

I manually tried:

$ curl -L https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/cmsis-packs/SiliconLabs.EFM32GG11B_DFP.pdsc

and I got the .pdsc file.

When I click on the link in the original post it goes to:

https://github.com/gnu-mcu-eclipse/eclipse-plugins/issues/url

instead of this (which is the text of the URL):

Fixed in 4.6.1, on 2019-09-21.

The URL conn.getContentLength() returns -1 when the file is sent in chunks, so it cannot be used; instead it must be computed.
