Plugin install by name fails, but succeeds by URL

[jaydoane]

I was unable to install the container-registry (or any other) plugin directly, getting an error like:

❯ ibmcloud plugin install container-registry
Looking up 'container-registry' from repository 'IBM Cloud'...
Plug-in 'container-registry[cr] 1.0.2' found in repository 'IBM Cloud'
Attempting to download the binary file...
FAILED
Unable to download the plug-in binary from the URL https://download.clis.cloud.ibm.com/ibm-cloud-cli-plugin/container-registry/1.0.2/container-registry-darwin-arm64-1.0.2.
Error: Get "https://download.clis.cloud.ibm.com/ibm-cloud-cli-plugin/container-registry/1.0.2/container-registry-darwin-arm64-1.0.2": dial tcp [2600:1406:1400::b818:9a0a]:443: connect: no route to host
Try again later.

returned 1

Is it possible that it's trying to access this plugin via IPv6 and failing?

If I use the URL from the above error message however, plugin installation succeeds:

❯ ibmcloud plugin install https://download.clis.cloud.ibm.com/ibm-cloud-cli-plugin/container-registry/1.0.2/container-registry-darwin-arm64-1.0.2

OK
Plug-in 'container-registry 1.0.2' was successfully installed into /Users/jay/.bluemix/plugins/container-registry. Use '/usr/local/bin/ibmcloud plugin show container-registry' to show its details.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

I'm unable to recreate the scenario. What version of the CLI are you using?
