Expected full 200 response, received {}

Error message

Expected full 200 response, received {}

What it means

Thrown by `validate_full_response` when the downloader requested the complete model file but the server replied with a status other than 200 OK. The downloader only accepts a full 200 response for a whole-file download; anything else (404, 403, 503, redirect page, etc.) fails validation before any bytes are consumed.

Solutions

1. Verify the model name/URL configured for the Parakeet download is correct and the file exists (`curl -I <url>`).
2. Retry later if the status is 5xx or 429 — the host may be temporarily down or rate-limiting.
3. Check for authentication/proxy requirements blocking access (403).
4. Switch to an alternative mirror for the model.

let resp = client.head(url).send().await?;
if !resp.status().is_success() {
    anyhow::bail!("model URL unhealthy: {}", resp.status());
}

match result {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("Expected full 200 response") => {
        eprintln!("download endpoint returned non-200; retrying with backoff or mirror");
        retry_with_backoff(3)
    }
    other => other,
}

When it happens

Trigger: GET of the full Parakeet model URL returns e.g. 404 (wrong URL/model name), 403 (no access), or 5xx (server error).

Common situations: Typo in the configured model name or mirror URL; the model file was renamed or removed upstream; rate limiting or temporary outage at the host; corporate proxy intercepting the request.
