Unable to download edgexfoundry snap

Hi,

Not sure if this is transient network outage or something else, but I’m unable to download or install a snap (edgexfoundry). See:

$ snap install edgexfoundry
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Download snap "edgexfoundry" (329) from channel "stable" (received an unexpected http response code (503) when trying to download https://fastly.cdn.snapcraft.io/download-origin/fastly/AZGf0KNnh8aqdkbGATNuRuxnt1GNRKkV_329.snap?token=1552366800_e51778a92d05eb9b1e9d9f24309a108893acbda8)
$ snap download edgexfoundry

I have this from snapd logs with SNAPD_DEBUG=1:

Any idea what’s wrong or what I can do to download this snap?

Thanks,

That feel like an issue on CDN, sometimes CDN returns errors if the CDN edge server has a problem retrieving the binary from origin server. I can download edgexfoundry from Taipei.

In order to identify the issue is on CDN or the origin snap hosting server, you can try to run the snapd with SNAPPY_STORE_NO_CDN=1, to directly download the snap without CDN.

If you can download the snap without CDN, you can collect more information by opening https://www.fastly-debug.com/ from the target device and report an issue on CDN.

Thanks for the pointer about disabling the CDN as it definitely seems the issue was related to the CDN.
Regardless, I am now able to download the snap with the CDN.
