Research direction

Begin by reproducing the reported devcontainer CLI build with Podman on Windows and the Azure CLI feature, then compare the registry request and authentication behavior with a working runtime. Done means the feature downloads and the container build completes, with coverage for the reported missing WWW-Authenticate response if the project has an appropriate test location.

Description

I'm using Podman Desktop 1.22 on Windows with a WSL v2 podman machine.

I started off using devcontainers inside vscode, but I'm getting the same error when using the devcontainers cli.

If I include the feature in my devcontainer.json:

"features": {
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/azure-cli:1": {}
  }

I get this error when trying to build the container:

> devcontainer.cmd build --docker-path "C:\Program Files\RedHat\Podman\podman.exe" --workspace-folder .

{"outcome":"error","message":"Failed to download package for ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/azure-cli","description":"An error occurred building the container."}

I've tried authentication against ghrc.io via podman login ghrc.io and that doesn't make a difference.

Is there anything else I should try?
