Rustup cannot download hash file for toolchains channel information under Wine
Problem
Hi, When trying to install a MSVC toolchain using Rustup under wine (x64 and x86 rustup versions for windows affected) it fails with this error:
error: could not download file from 'https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-stable.toml.sha256' to 'C:\users\lorenzo\.rustup\tmp\scoucda6ta418hod_file': failed to make network request: error sending request for url (https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-stable.toml.sha256): operation timed out: operation timed out
I did see this error seems to happen also on different platforms, but it's consistent on Wine. It's possible that it's not a specific wine deficiency, but worse performance under wine (socket performances are not on par with windows, expecially asyncronous and non blocking ones) are making the problem manifest. I can download toolchains from the native linux rustup, however it's easier to be able to manage the msvc rust toolchain inside the Wine Prefix where Visual Studio 2019 and the C++ Build tools are installed
RUSTUP_USE_CURL=1 is a workaround, and allow rustup to properly download
Thanks for the attention
Steps
- export WINEPREFIX="(PAth for VS wine prefix)"
- wine rustup-init.exe
- Press enter and wait
Possible Solution(s)
RUSTUP_USE_CURL=1 is a workaround
Notes
Wine, Wine-Staging and Wine-TKG affected. Problem existed in wine 7.x
Rustup version
1.26.0 (but this problem existed in all previous version for some years)
Installed toolchains
None
Reported this as a reqwest issue: https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest/issues/2158.
RUSTUP_USE_RUSTLS=1 seems to be another workaround with last rustup version. Without any envvars setted problems still persist @djc

@llde That kinda makes sense since the current default is to use Windows' own TLS stack, and I have no idea if that works well under Wine or not...
