 ubuntu 22.04
 wp 6.0.1
 WP-CLI: 2.6.0
 curl 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.3
 php 8.1.7

 Updating any plugin with the cli tool or from the browser throws the same
 error. For instance:

 {{{

 }}}

 This issue is **caused by the fact that the wp cli uses the http url,
 instead of https**:
 1) **with http**:
 curl http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/header-footer-
 elementor.1.6.12.zip
 <html>
 <head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
 <body>
 <center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
 <hr><center>nginx</center>
 </body>
 </html>`

 2) **with https**:
 curl https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/header-footer-
 elementor.1.6.12.zip –output header-footer-elementor.1.6.12.zip
