curl command to download server code results in 'Failed writing body'

[ilikebuttons]

I'm experiencing issue #48:

I attempt to download the server code by entering this command into Windows command prompt:

curl https://codeload.github.com/howtographql/react-apollo/tar.gz/starter | tar -xz --strip=1 react-apollo-starter/server

...and receive the following output:

curl: (23) Failed writing body (1356 != 1370)

I also tried it with powershell, which gave this output:

tar.exe: Error opening archive: Failed to open '\\.\tape0'

I had the same problem. Just use git bash it worked for me.

Get this error (Under terminal)
tar.exe: Error opening archive: Failed to open

Run the curl command under Git bash (Inside the correct folder) ==> solve the issue

Hi,
I am encountering the same error, and trying to solve it with the solution stated above, I got another error stated below:

% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
