Download files on https connection always get wrong file checksum with virtualbox 6.1.6 vm

Post by honking »

Here is the link
"static-meteor.netdna-ssl.c@o@m/packages-bootstrap/1.8.3/meteor-bootstrap-os.linux.x86_64.tar.gz"
(The Forum rule limited, just replace '@' to empty, the same below )


1. use the link start with "h@t@t@p@://", I can get right file size and right checksum.

2. use the link start with "h@t@t@p@s://" , I can get right file size but wrong checksum.

I tested these cases in serval vms (including ubuntu 18.04, ubuntu 19.10, boot2docker ), I always get wrong checksum when use ht@tps connection .

There have been a few posts recently post-6.1.0 with guests not hashing things or having failed installs. Haven't been able to find the common denominator yet.

Please try downgrading to 6.1.0, then upgrade to 6.1.2 then 6.1.4. Try to identify in your guest if a particular version works and the next does not.
