Hi Max, libcurl 7.65.3-1ubuntu3 and was >7.59 for several releases (more than a year at least) - so there must be something else going on that this triggers now.
But never the less with the fix from [1] I can again get it to work successfully. I think I should backport that to our qemu 4.0 in Ubunutu. It seems to apply fine (just offset -3, no fuzz) The former seem not affected e.g. qemu 3.1 along libcurl 7.64.0-2ubuntu1 does not expose the behavior. @Max - As the Author, just to check, do you see any issue backporting that to qemu 4.0 [1]: https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=bfb23b480a49114315877aacf700b49453e0f9d9 ** Also affects: qemu (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: qemu (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Eoan) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848556 Title: qemu-img check failing on remote image in Eoan Status in QEMU: Confirmed Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in qemu source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in qemu source package in Focal: Triaged Bug description: The "qemu-img check" function is failing on remote (HTTP-hosted) images, beginning with Ubuntu 19.10 (qemu-utils version 1:4.0+dfsg- 0ubuntu9). With previous versions, through Ubuntu 19.04/qemu-utils version 1:3.1+dfsg-2ubuntu3.5, the following worked: $ /usr/bin/qemu-img check http://10.193.37.117/cloud/eoan-server-cloudimg-amd64.img No errors were found on the image. 19778/36032 = 54.89% allocated, 90.34% fragmented, 89.90% compressed clusters Image end offset: 514064384 The 10.193.37.117 server holds an Apache server that hosts the cloud images on a LAN. Beginning with Ubuntu 19.10/qemu-utils 1:4.0+dfsg- 0ubuntu9, the same command never returns. (I've left it for up to an hour with no change.) I'm able to wget the image from the same server and installation on which qemu-img check fails. I've tried several .img files on the server, ranging from Bionic to Eoan, with the same results with all of them.
