Description
(Originally reported as https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/1707, re-opened here by suggestion)
I did this
I used the native Windows version of curl
(in MSYS2 terms, this is mingw-w64-x86_64-curl
) to download a file to a path containing forward slashes, but it failed unexpectedly:
$ /mingw64/bin/curl -L https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1-any.pkg.tar.xz -o ghc-tarballs/mingw-w64/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1-any.pkg.tar.xz --create-dirs -#
Warning: Failed to create the file
Warning: ghc-tarballs/mingw-w64/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7
Warning: 046-1-any.pkg.tar.xz: No such file or directory
curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 2759)
I expected the following
I expected it to behave like curl
does on Linux, or how the MSYS2-built version of curl
behaves (i.e., how curl
behaves in a POSIX emulation layer):
$ /usr/bin/curl -L https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1-any.pkg.tar.xz -o ghc-tarballs/mingw-w64/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1-any.pkg.tar.xz --create-dirs -#

A workaround is to convert all the forward slashes (/
) in that path to backslashes (\\
):
$ /mingw64/bin/curl -L https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1-any.pkg.tar.xz -o ghc-tarballs\\mingw-w64\\x86_64\\mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1-any.pkg.tar.xz --create-dirs -#

curl/libcurl version
I reproduced this with versions 7.50.1 and 7.50.2.
operating system
Windows 10 (64-bit)
I installed the native Windows version and the MSYS2 version of curl
using pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-curl
and pacman -S curl
, respectively, but @vszakats reports experiencing the same issue using the Windows version of curl-7.50.2
available for download from the curl
website.
