Hi, Looks like you're not the only one having such issue: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-6624
A workaround is to force md5 checksumming: With apache, set ContentDigest On <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/de/mod/core.html#contentdigest> and use: puppet apply -e 'file { "/tmp/foo": source => "http://localhost/bar", checksum => md5 }' unfortunately I don't think you can modify the webserver confgiuration in githubusercontent.com. Maybe adding an extra step where you do wget first, then file -> source => file:///my_path then the other exec? something like: (I've not tested the code, only giving the idea): ---- exec {'get_file': command => 'wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/master/config/66-azure-storage.rules ' cwd => 'tmp', } file { 'azure_udev_rule': path => '/etc/udev/rules.d/66-azure-storage.rules', ensure => 'file', require => Exec['get_file], source => '/tmp/ 66-azure-storage.rules ', notify => Exec['azure_udev_reload'], } exec { 'azure_udev_reload': command => 'udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=block', path => ['/usr/sbin', '/usr/bin'], refreshonly => true, } ---- for content hosted in a git repository I use the vcsrepo puppet module https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/vcsrepo.
