Node.js Munki Recipe is failing with "curl: (56) The requested URL returned error: 412"

[fseesink]

With RELEASE set to "latest-v22.x" in my override of node.munki, as it has been for some time, this recipe is now failing. When running it in Terminal with

autopkg run -vvv node.munki.recipe

the (slightly sanitized) output in part shows the output below. What is odd is that the URL it appears to construct is accurate (https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v22.x/node-v22.13.1.pkg), and if I simply copy/paste that into a browser, sure enough it downloads the file. So scratching my head as to why this exception is kicking off.

I haven't touched this recipe in some time, and other than the usual OS updates (the box running this is on macOS 15.3), it's a pretty static setup. But just thought I should mention this as until recently, it's been working fine. So much so that this same version of Node.js (22.13.1) is what is installed on the Macs that have this installed through Munki.

I only noticed this because AutoPkgr kicked up an error that it reported to me via Slack which simply said "curl: (56) The requested URL returned error: 412". That made me go back and find that it was this recipe triggering that.
