Feed downloads though feed connectors

[Guest]

Hi Proget.

I'm using the free version of ProGet, and I would like to ask a question about the behaviour of your Feed Connectors

Given the following scenario:
I create 2 feeds, publish a NuGet package to both feeds with the same Id and Version, but each package has different content.
Then I create a Connector in one feed to access the other.

If I request a package from my feed without the connector, I download the package hosted in that feed. (As expected)
If I request a package from my feed with the connector, it seems to randomly choose which package to download (the locally hosted one or the connected one)

This seems counter intuitive. I would have thought if both feeds contain the same version of the package, it would prioritise the locally hosted version (to save any extra network access if the connected feed was remote)
Even if this wasn't the case, randomly choosing a feed to download from doesn't seem sensible.

Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks

Local packages are indeed prioritized over connector packages, my guess is that you have either a cached package or cached feed request happening on the client end.

If you look at the feed rss (you may need to use fiddler or something to capture output), you can see the exact metadata that's being requested. In the metadata, there will be a url that points to the downloadable .nupkg.
