[BUG] Intermittent Failure HTTP 403

[Octogonapus]

Describe the bug We occasionally see an HTTP 403 error while running this action. The action fails after running for about 25 minutes. Rerunning the action usually resolves it, as this is an intermittent error.

To Reproduce Workflow file to reproduce the behavior:

      - uses: julia-actions/setup-julia@v1
        id: setup-julia
        with:
          version: 1.6

Expected behavior Since this is intermittent, I'd hope it's possible to have a retry mechanism in the setup action (maybe there is one but it just gets exhausted?) so that this error does not occur. It would also be useful to have some timeout on this action, since it typically takes a few seconds to run. It should certainly never run for more than a minute, let alone 25 minutes.

Screenshots/Build logs These are the logs I have on hand:

Additional context It's worth knowing that this is running on a self-hosted runner with a poor quality network connection. This error happens far more frequently on our self-hosted runners (with a bad network) than on hosted runners.

I'm also seeing this error and just reported it on the julia slack: https://julialang.slack.com/archives/C68SPSE72/p1639603832138100. https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json is returning a 403 and i think sometimes a runner has that cached is ok, otherwise, it fails and retries with the 403.

This just started affecting all of our self-hosted runners. Some debug logs:

Edit: This is affecting all of our runners, including GitHub hosted runners. Probably an AWS outage.

Seems like it's not related to the AWS issue: https://julialang.slack.com/archives/C68SPSE72/p1639609120139700?thread_ts=1639603832.138100&cid=C68SPSE72.

Seems to be fixed now.

If the network connection is bad enough that you run into this outside of today's issue with AWS, let me know and I can adjust the retry settings.
