Any chance of a settings option to ‘Ignore URL pre-flight check’ which would cause Etcher to not execute the http HEAD prior to writing from a url source and instead just display the URL on the final ready to Flash screen ?

Hi @beigebullet

I’ve checked with one of our Etcher engineers, and he has indicated that, although we do not want to add another settings option, we can potentially add functionality to ignore failed HEAD requests, which should solve your problem. I will open an issue for this.

Is it possible for you to provide us with an example url that works with GET but returns 403 on HEAD?

Thank you, and kind regards
Alida

Hi,
The signed urls I have tend to have a short expiry… will try to create one with a longer expiry. More info here for background: https://www.msp360.com/resources/blog/s3-pre-signed-url-guide/
Many thanks for looking at this.

Thanks for the information, I updated the attached github issue so that the solution is tested with pre-sgined S3 URLs as described.
