Zip starter not working for certain URLs #66

Closed mgrove closed 7 years ago

mgrove commented 7 years ago

The zip starter seems to not work for some URLs and work for others. Here are some UUIDs for which the zip starter doesn't work for me on Firefox or Chrome (using Windows, although I tried to use Linux for several of them last night, and that didn't work either):

7115EDA4-34EF-4148-AA3F-0D2C72FF4BB7 77D88C3C-7C47-413A-BCA1-6CE19C237BED FA38C827-D488-424D-92DE-BB17B553DD6F 555BAE6B-5B5C-4677-91D3-CD48F525FD70 FFB1A9E9-FDCB-49CF-BA33-FB8139B95C2C 40B56E61-11C5-42E9-B440-49E5B164A80C 3E1C57A2-0244-4CF4-A860-39CE2300AEDA A69C90A4-B43E-4852-905F-5C72827E75FF 07B3C201-7620-43C9-BCF6-9ADD52B7E9F9 A9C4D3D3-DE86-4731-BB2C-902AE8DEB94B

Sometimes the server responds with an "unavailable" error, but usually it's a "bad request" error. At the time of this writing, all of these are in the Harvest section of the website, and I did check out each one before I tried to download the zip starter. Some of the links are broken, but others are not. Several of them have notes that indicate that other people have also had trouble downloading the zip starter.

EDIT: I will add more UUIDs to the list as I discover them.

@mgrove thanks so much for this clear outline of the problem.

Turns out all the urls mentioned are dead / broken links, which the zip-starter was reporting as an error & causing the failure. We've adjusted the behavior of zip-starter to make this work.
