Description of problem: I am unable to deploy a binary artifact to an app if this artifact is actually hosted in this app Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): devenv_4466 (ami-0b5e5262) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a php app 2. make some changes in the app's repo, like echo hello > test.txt 3. git add . ; git commit -am "test" ; git push 4. save a deployment snapshot: rhc snapshot-save --deployment -a <%=app_name%> 5. Copy the snapshot file into the app's repo, git commit and push 6. Try to download it and unpack: /usr/bin/curl http://<app_name>-<domain_name>.dev.rhcloud.com/<app_name>.tar.gz | /bin/tar -xz (should be downloadable and extractable) 7. Try to deploy it using REST API: curl -k -X POST https://ec2-54-211-200-105.compute-1.amazonaws.com/broker/rest/application/531720358351ff670e000069/deployments -d artifact_url=http://app1-lbwjzf.dev.rhcloud.com/app1.tar.gz -u ofayans:redhat Actual results: {"api_version":1.6,"data":null,"messages":[{"exit_code":2,"field":null,"index":null,"severity":"debug","text":"Unable to extract deployment archive using command: /usr/bin/curl http://app1-lbwjzf.dev.rhcloud.com/app1.tar.gz | /bin/tar -xz"},{"exit_code":2,"field":null,"index":null,"severity":"error","text":"Unable to complete the requested operation due to: An invalid exit code (2) was returned from the server ip-10-212-107-33.

Your issue is you are hosting your snapshot in the same app you are trying to deploy. So it Stops the app Deletes the current content being served (including your tar.gz you are hosting) Tries to download from http://<app_name>-<domain_name>.dev.rhcloud.com/<app_name>.tar.gz which has been stopped and deleted. Fails If you use 2 apps (1 to host your tar and another to deploy to) it works fine.
