Chocolatey package fails because Get-WebHeaders switch to HTTPS for download but the file can only been successfully downloaded in HTTP.
How to avoid to switch to HTTPS?

• Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://download.kugou.com/download/kugou_pc" : It works as expected
• Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://download.kugou.com/download/kugou_pc" : HTTP Status code 200 but It doesn't download the file.
• cinst kugou -dv -s "."

Sounds like the same issue we have with the nlite package.
Only way currently around it is to embedd the software (if the licensing and size allows it).

Issue related: chocolatey/choco#1221

I will mark this issue as blocked for now.

@chtof Has there been any progress on this or are you waiting for chocolatey/choco#1221 ?

I didn't find any license to allow to embed the package. Close as something like can't fix?
