Issue #5038 has been updated by Brice Figureau.
Somehow your apache or http proxy in front of your master is adding a Content-Encoding header behind your back. Unfortunately now the client supports http compression and thinks the content is encoded. Unfortunately x-gzip is not a known content encoding for the client and it says so. I don't really understand why your master is answering with such Content-Encoding (the client sends what encoding it supports and x-gzip is not one of them). Can you let us know how your master is setup? I suppose it's apache: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_mime.html#addencoding Apache here does something wrong: by saying that .gz files are transferred with Content-Encoding x-gzip, it assumes that the client will uncompress the file on the fly and use it as it. In your (and our) case you certainly want the file to be transferred as is and be stored as is on your client. I don't think this is something we should/can handle on the puppet side. You should configure Apache so that it doesn't send such content-encoding headers for some known files types (get rid of the various AddEncoding). ---------------------------------------- Bug #5038: puppet 2.6.1 can no longer transfer gzipped files https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5038 Author: Martha Greenberg Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assignee: Markus Roberts Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.1 Keywords: Branch: In 0.25.4, and previous versions, we could use a gzipped file as the source for a file. In 2.6.1, I get the follow error: err: /Stage[main]/Test::One/File[/tmp/test.tar.gz]: Could not evaluate: Unknown content encoding - x-gzip Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///test/test.tar.gz: Unknown content encoding - x-gzip at /etc/puppet/dev_martha/modules/test/manifests/one.pp:7 Both client and server are Debian Lenny, using the 2.6.1 packages from experimental. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
