 Description   

Downloads like we had for years, e.g. for updating rpm's do not work anymore. Manual downloads stop and can't resume. At least the manual downloaded files (if it works) have different structure.

I usually downloaded the files via:
wget https://downloads.mariadb.org/interstitial/mariadb-10.6.5/source/mariadb-10.6.5.tar.gz
(automatically via rpm-update) to provide the package for Mageia distribution. Now this does not work anymore. Why? Can you reenable it?

Hi mokraemer!

Sorry for having this regression. The "interstitial" URL was never part of any official API to download the file and we lost it when refactoring the code. We have exposed a REST API specifically for this use case.

https://downloads.mariadb.org/rest-api/mariadb/10.6.5/mariadb-10.6.5.tar.gz

With docs here:
https://mariadb.org/downloads-rest-api/

This is the URL that will accomplish the same as the previous "interstitial" url. If this is something that you can not adjust, I can work to enable a redirect, but I can not guarantee that it will keep working for future releases.

NOTE: I have noticed a few bugs in the rest-api docs. I'll get these fixed and only then close the issue.

Thanks for your feedback! I can adjust the URL. That really helps managing updates for rpm packages!

Hi mokraemer, the download should work now as it was before. I don't think you need to change things.

I already changed it, but thanks. I will change it back
