Document expected accession of fullyjustified.net

[colindean]

I've been using tectonic for few years and just now encountered an unexpected error:

[…]

I couldn't find anything on the tectonic website about fullyjustified.net and that domain bare just redirects to the tectonic website… so clearly it's a project resource!

Looking around, I found that fullyjustified.net appears in the source in a few places - it's where tectonic gets its packages. OK, that makes perfect sense.

When I access those URLs in the error message directly with a browser, I can see that my corporate firewall is blocking the domain. It's been a while since I worked on the document I'm working on today and I'm aware of a more aggressive firewall policy lately, so it's unsurprising that I'd not encountered this until now.

What I'd expect is some kind of something — documentation somewhere — saying that tectonic may connect to this domain. I'm fully aware of tectonic retrieving packages on demand, but I thought they came from CTAN or something else with a more recognizably safe domain.

I have a different but related issue. Behind a company proxy, the error is quite clear

note: connecting to https://relay.fullyjustified.net/default_bundle_v33.tar
error: error sending request for url (https://relay.fullyjustified.net/default_bundle_v33.tar): error trying to connect: dns error: failed to lookup address information: Temporary failure in name resolution

Setting HTTPS_PROXY gives this

I’m a bit surprised that "200" is unexpected. Maybe update the error message ?
Also, I’m interested in a workaround :)

Tectonic is expecting a 206 Partial Content response here. The bundle system is designed to only fetch the parts that are used on-the-fly and is issuing HTTP range requests. I guess it would be nice for tectonic to handle this gracefully though and cache the entire response, but as a workaround you can download the full bundle manually and pass it to --bundle.

Thanks for pointing me the `--bundle` option. Unfortunately, it looks like downloading the archive manually does not work (or the archive is somehowe corrupted ?) ❯ tectonic --bundle tlextras-2022.0r0.tar.index.gz draft error: invalid Zip archive: Could not find central directory end ❯ tectonic --bundle tlextras-2022.0r0.tar draft error: invalid Zip archive: Could not find central directory end The advice give in #685 works though ! ❯ tectonic -w https://ttassets.z13.web.core.windows.net/tlextras-2020.0r0.tar draft.tex
