Consistent Client.Timeout or context cancellation while reading body error when installing a core with 1.2.2 #2899
Description
Describe the problem
I suspect a regression with 1.2.2, whenever I install a core, I randomly get a Client.Timeout. I do not have the best Internet connection but it was always like that, and I could not reproduce the issue with 1.2.0, for example, or earlier versions.
I did some local testing and switched between 1.2.0 and 1.2.2 CLI versions and tried to install the ESP32 core after wiping ~/Users/kittaakos/Library/Arduino15/staging and ~/Users/kittaakos/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp32. It always failed for me with 1.2.2. There were no issues with 1.2.0. I tried it several times, switching back and forth between the CLI versions. This could be a temporary connection issue on my side. If so, please close this issue, but it could also be a 3rd party dependency update side effect.
To reproduce
./arduino-cli core update-index --additional-urls https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json
./arduino-cli core install esp32:esp32 --additional-urls https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json
With 1.2.2:
./arduino-cli core install esp32:esp32 --additional-urls https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json

Expected behavior
The 1.2.0 behavior
Arduino CLI version
1.2.2
Operating system
macOS
Operating system version
15.4.1
Additional context
I have not tried the nightly because the release tag is the HEAD of the master (c11b9dd), therefore, it must be the same as the nightly:
./arduino-cli version
arduino-cli Version: 1.2.2 Commit: c11b9dd5 Date: 2025-04-22T13:51:07ZI have tested the CLI only with the ESP32 core installation. I did not try to install any other cores. (Related #2899 (comment))
Issue checklist
- I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
- I verified the problem still occurs when using the nightly build
- My report contains all necessary details
