Cocoapods: CDN: trunk URL couldn't be downloaded

[maxkomarychev]

• [x] I've read and understood the CONTRIBUTING guidelines and have done my best effort to follow.

I am trying to install dependencies with cocoapods but quite often I see CDN failing with timeout issue.
I have tried removing cache as well as entire folder ~/.cocoapods.

When I try to open problematic URL with browser or curl - it work just fine and it takes less than a second to fetch the podspec.

❗ please note this is not the only error I'm seeing. sometimes it's a different library and sometimes it's many libraries at once.

only "fixed" this by removing ~/.cocoapods again.
is this an expected behavior?

Not sure at this time, could have been a network issue?

[maxkomarychev]

I doubt. I have tried many (~10) times in 30 minutes and immediately after getting this error I was checking failing URL in browser - and it was working. The problem was consistent and wasn't fixed until I removed ~/.cocoapods. Since then everything works well 🤷

CDN is an issue for me for a few latest days as well, it just stuck at updating it, and then gives me Time out error with link, and I can easily open those links. It's not a network issues as I can do pod repo remove trunk and after that it works again until it tries to update repo next time

[maxkomarychev]

Over these days this issue has happened to me several times

• every time with different podspec being an issue
• every time opening URL directly was working fine
• network was stable all the time during execution
• was only solved by removing ~/.cocoapods

is there some flag I can add to run this thing in verbose mode to see what happens underneath?

Fixed for me.
