bad status: %s

Error message

bad status: %s

What it means

Inside InstallBun's download task, after http.Get to the bun release URL, any status other than 200 is surfaced as 'bad status: <code and text>'. It means the GitHub release asset could not be fetched as expected.

Solutions

1. Check network access to github.com and the exact URL in a browser/curl
2. Retry later if rate-limited (403) or set GITHUB token-aware download
3. Update or pin BUN_VERSION to an existing release
4. Configure HTTPS_PROXY to a working egress proxy

Example fix

// before
$ curl -I https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v9.9.9/bun-linux-x64.zip
404 Not Found
// after
// use an existing version
const BUN_VERSION = "1.1.29" // valid release tag

resp, err := http.Head(url)
if err != nil || resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
    return fmt.Errorf("download URL unavailable: %s", url)
}
resp.Body.Close()

response, err := http.Get(url)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
defer response.Body.Close()
if response.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
    return fmt.Errorf("bun download failed (%s); check network/proxy or version", response.Status)
}

When it happens

Trigger: http.Get to https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v<ver>/<file> returning 404 (bad BUN_VERSION or filename), 403 (rate limited), 5xx, or a proxy error page.

Common situations: Corporate proxy/firewall intercepting github.com; GitHub rate limiting shared CI IPs; pinned BUN_VERSION whose release assets were removed; DNS hijack captive portals returning HTML with 200? (no — those hit 403/502 typically); offline environments.
