Failed to handle redirect to download dynamodb_local

[anggras]

Current implementation does not cater for redirect, causing error when downloading dynamodb_local

/Users/anggra/Documents/Work/web/testing/node_modules/dynamodb-localhost/dynamodb/installer.js:23
                throw new Error('Error getting DynamoDb local latest tar.gz location ' + response.headers.location + ': ' + response.statusCode);
                ^

Error: Error getting DynamoDb local latest tar.gz location http://103.1.138.149/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dynamodb-local/dynamodb_local_latest.tar.gz: 302

I've created a fix at https://github.com/anggras/dynamodb-localhost/tree/handle-redirect Please let me know if it is acceptable

FYI: This package (dynamodb-localhost) doesn't appear to be maintained, with no new releases to NPM in over 4 years.

Solution: You can use aws-dynamodb-local, a maintained fork, instead. (Disclaimer: I am a contributor to this fork). It is a drop-in replacement for this package, and is updated to fix this bug.

Migrating takes about 2 minutes, with a full guide in the README. Of course, it's all still open-source and MIT licensed. Ownership of this new package sits with a registered charity, that is committed to maintaining the package into the future and is open to contributions from the community.
