Research direction

Start by rerunning the documented discoapi query and comparing the redirect target with the downloaded filename. Check whether the incorrect JDK-to-JRE mapping is controlled by discoapi or by the Red Hat content gateway, using the reported Red Hat ticket as context. Done means the endpoint returns a JDK artifact or clearly records the upstream dependency and resolution.

Description

If you query the API for the latest Red Hat JDK11 for Linux, you get this link:

https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/ids/0836347ef08afff39c8de1a92eee8de7/redirect

Which resolves to:

https://developers.redhat.com/content-gateway/file/pub/openjdk/adoptium/January_2024/java-11-openjdk-11.0.22.0.7-1.portable.jdk.el.x86_64.tar.xz

However, when you actually download the file, it's actually:

java-11-openjdk-11.0.22.0.7-1.portable.jre.x86_64.tar.xz

This seems to be an upstream issue with RedHat, but I can't find anywhere specific the https://developers.redhat.com/content-gateway/file/pub/openjdk/adoptium link is publicized to report it specifically - I've reported it via the generic Report a website issue (ticket 592453) but not convinced that will get to the right place.
