Cannot unpack browser-downloaded .conda files

What happened?

Downloading packages on Anaconda Cloud via a web browser (Safari 16.6.1) leads to a file like (for example, from https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/r-tinytex/files):

noarch_r-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_0.conda

This fails to unpack with cph

(cph) $ cph x noarch_r-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_0.conda 
Traceback (most recent call last):

However, everything goes smoothly when downloading the file programmatically using the link on the Anaconda Cloud page:

(cph) $ wget https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/r-tinytex/0.49/download/noarch/r-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_0.conda
(cph) $ cph x r-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_0.conda

This behavior arose in the last few months. Is Anaconda Cloud doing something different when downloading from a web browser?

@dholth Can you look into this please?

[dholth]

anaconda.org includes the directory in the filename= content-disposition and that winds up in the downloaded filename. Instead, it should say

Current behavior filename="noarch/r-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_1.conda"; filename*=UTF-8''noarch%2Fr-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_1.conda

Desired behavior filename="r-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_1.conda"; filename*=UTF-8''r-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_1.conda

(what's up with the UTF-8 portion?)

% curl -I https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/r-tinytex/0.49/download/noarch/r-tinytex-0.49-r43hc72bb7e_1.conda
HTTP/2 200
date: Tue, 09 Jan 2024 20:22:30 GMT

You may rename the local file without the noarch_ prefix to extract.

This also happens when we conda install offline .conda file downloaded from anaconda. This is solved by renaming .conda file as shown in this stackoverflow post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77928132/how-to-install-conda-file-downloaded-from-anaconda-package-site

[jakirkham]

Think this was fixed earlier this year: conda/conda-package-handling#230 (comment)

Tried downloading a recent r-tinytex .conda package and unpacking with cph x and it worked ok

@mfansler can you please retry and let us know if you still see this issue?

[mfansler]

Yes, this is working now.
