Hitting curl https://go.dev/VERSION?m=text returns a go version package which is not available to download

[domstorey]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

Latest stable

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

GOLANG_LATEST_STABLE_VERSION=$(curl https://go.dev/VERSION?m=text)

This currently returns go1.17.7 but go1.17.6 is the latest which is built and so this has broken our CICD pipeline

Source available but not binary downloadable

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

go env Output

$ go env

What did you do?

What did you expect to see?

curl https://go.dev/VERSION?m=text should return the latest version available for download.

So for example this code works in our docker container:

RUN GOLANG_LATEST_STABLE_VERSION=$(curl https://go.dev/VERSION?m=text) \
  && curl -OL https://go.dev/dl/${GOLANG_LATEST_STABLE_VERSION}.linux-ppc64le.tar.gz \

What did you see instead?

VERSION is the version running the website, not latest version to download.

Can you suggest a way to get the latest version available to download for a CICD pipeline?

go.dev/dl/?mode=json

Thank you :-) worked perfectly...

GOLANG_LATEST_STABLE_VERSION=$(curl https://go.dev/dl/?mode=json | grep -o 'go.*.linux-ppc64le.tar.gz' | head -n 1 | tr -d '\r\n' )

which also evolved too:

GOLANG_LATEST_STABLE_VERSION=$(curl "https://go.dev/dl/?mode=json" | jq -r '.[0].files[].filename | select(test("go.*.linux-ppc64le.tar.gz"))') \
