Description of problem: URLs without an “.rpm” suffixes won’t be downloaded by DNF even when the URL points to an RPM file available on the web. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-2.5.1-1.fc26 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install https://spideroak.com/release/spideroak/rpm_x64 Actual results: Doesn’t try to download, verify, nor install the RPM package. (Append .rpm to the URL and DNF will try to download it, but the server will then return a 404.) Expected results: Should attempt to download the URL to see if its an RPM or not before dismissing it as an installation candidate. Additional info: Note that the `Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=SpiderOakONE.6.3.1.1.x86_64.rpm` HTTP response header gives a suggested filename for the download.
The issue was fixed and patch was released in dnf-2.7.3-1. Please if the problem reapers, don't hesitate to reopen the bug report.
