Cant install Apache

[codebk1]

Installing the latest Apache fails with a 308:

Installing 'apache' (2.4.33) [64bit]
Serwer zdalny zwrócił błąd: (308) Permanent Redirect.
URL https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VC15/binaries/httpd-2.4.33-win64-VC15.zip is not valid

Interesting. It works in the browser, but curl, aria2 and [Net.Webrequest] fail because of redirect to localhost. 😕

It seems PowerShell gets blocked by their server:
Changing the UserAgent from
Scoop/1.0 (+http://scoop.sh/) PowerShell/5.1 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; Desktop)
to
Scoop/1.0 (+http://scoop.sh/) PowerHell/5.1 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; Desktop)
works...
Same goes for the curl UserAgent curl/7.55.1, wurl/7.55.1 works.

UserAgents with PowerShell/curl/wget are blocked by apachelounge.com
https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=8018

Possible options:

• Remove PowerShell from Scoops UserAgent (meh, would like to keep it)
• Overwrite UserAgent when apachelounge.com gets used (messy code)
• Add useragent property to schema.json

+1 to adding a useragent or user_agent property.

[chawyehsu]

+1 add useragent property.

[r15ch13]

All solutions are bad. 😭
Adding a property to schema.json requires a lot of changes to all dl_*() and find_*() functions from install.ps1 and autoupdate.ps1
Because none of these functions get the JSON object as a parameter... 😢

[rasa]

PowerHell it is, then. Or how ‘bout Power-Shell or PoweredShell?

[chawyehsu]

A deformed user-agent word is a worse hack I think. Obviously huge changes in core functionality/files is really a painful process. Need a complete design.

"Need a complete design." Yes!
