Description Joe S 2022-05-30 16:02:02 UTC 
When tumbleweed-cli is installed and you issue 'tumbleweed latest' or 'tumbleweed status' you will sometimes get a blank value for latest.

This occurs when an HTTP Redirect occurs as demonstrated here:

GET /history/latest HTTP/1.1
Host: download.opensuse.org
User-Agent: curl/7.83.1
Accept: */*

Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Sun, 29 May 2022 21:44:28 GMT
Server: Apache
content-length: 0
location: http://mirrorcache-eu.opensuse.org/history/latest


When the HTTP Redirect occurs 'tumbleweed latest' or 'tumbleweed status' fails because curl does not follow redirects by default.

To fix the issue all calls to curl should also specify the -L option which allows it to follow the 'Location:' header.

Thanks Andril!

Might still be a good idea to use curl -L in tumbleweed-cli so that if load balancing is enabled again it will just work.
