[BUG]: octokit.rest.repos.downloadZipballArchive fails with unexpected 500 HTTP error

[madebr]

What happened?

Using ocotokit.reset.repos.downloadZipballArchive often fails with a 500 HTTP error on Linux.

I use this api in libsdl-org/setup-sdl here.

In this action workflow, the libsdl-org/setup-sdl action is used on 3 platforms (macos, Window and Linux).
It succeeds on Windows and macOS, but always fails on Linux.

Versions

@octokit/rest 21.0.1
octokit 3.2.1
node 20.13.1

Relevant log output

Unfortunately that error doesn't give any information... All it says is that the socket was closed unexpectedly

I would suggest using streams instead, see example here: #12 (comment)

It shouldn't matter what platform it's running on at least for this kind of code. I can't help you on that one

[madebr]

Thanks for the suggestion.
I applied it to my setup-sdl fork, but alas the error remains the same.
Perhaps you're seeing a flaw in my implementation? I'm a relative typescript noob.

I have no idea why you're getting HTTP 500 errors only on Linux

It's very weird.
We're using this github action in other SDL repos, such as SDL_image without issue. recent job
I created a test repo madebr/setup-sdl-test to test the SDL action.
It succeeds when using a fedora docker container, but fails when using a ubuntu docker container.
