Error: Request failed with status code 405 when hasura-cli postinstall

[ValentinH]

In our project, we are using the hasura-cli package that downloads a CLI in a postinstall step when a new version is available.

Today, I noticed that there was an issue when running yarn install:

Here's the logs:

# This file contains the result of Yarn building a package (hasura-cli@npm:2.35.1)
# Script name: postinstall


hasura-cli@2.35.1
Downloading Hasura CLI binary v2.35.1 from https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/releases/download/v2.35.1/cli-hasura-darwin-arm64


hasura-cli@2.35.1
Error! Failed to install Hasura CLI binary.
Try npm uninstall hasura-cli or yarn remove hasura-cli and then reinstall it.
If the issue occurs repeatedly, check if your network can access https://github.com as the the Hasura CLI binary file is hosted on Github.
You can report the issue on https://github.com/jjangga0214/hasura-cli/issues with error message.

As it was a network issue, I remembered that I was using sfw automatically for all yarn install command. I tried disabling it and the installation completed successfully.

I guess that sfw is doing something that breaks the CLI download from the Github release artifacts.

A response code of 405 is somewhat unexpected. I would not have been surprised to see a 403 -- but the 405 is probably the legit response that was returned by github.com. github.com should be allow-listed for the free version of sfw, so that's not the problem. The 405 is particularly surprising because it has to do with the HTTP method used in the request, which is obviously passed on verbatim from the client, through the sfw proxy, to the destination.

It's possible that axios is doing something unusual with the HTTP request. Can you share the rest of the config object that was cut off?
