Title: Message Title

Geoff Nichols created an issue   Puppet / PUP-9496 Unable to use remote URI as source parameter with package provider on Windows Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2019/02/12 6:30 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Geoff Nichols Prior to Puppet 5.5.7, it was possible with the 'windows' provider for the Package resource to use HTTP sources on MSI packages. As of Puppet 5.5.7, this functionality no longer works. Example: package { 'my software': ensure => '1.0.0', source => 'http://my-web-repo.net/my-package.msi', } Error message: 'Error: Could not update: Working directory http://my-web-repo.net does not exist!' Puppet 5.5.7 implemented https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-6920, which allows for the working directory to be the same, which breaks the unintended functionality of the windows provider using a remote URI. It previously worked because MSI was actually handling the download of the installer rather than Puppet handling the download.
