released .ez files can't be installed on 3.7

Had a similar issue.
What I was trying to do is download a plugin as part of my Dockerfile, using curl.
The issue was that the URL in the GitHub Releases page does not lead directly to the plugin - it returns an HTTP Redirect (302) which then leads to the actual plugin.
The solution was either use wget or tell curl to follow the redirect.

I tried your command and it does not download the proper release files as the SHA1 checksums differ. You are using curl incorrectly.

$ export DLS="$(curl $CWPLUGIN | jq -r '.assets[].browser_download_url')" && (for u in $DLS; do curl -O $u; done;) 
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 25968  100 25968    0     0  52566      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 52566

$ sha1sum rabbitmq_cloudwatch_exporter-0.2.1.ez 
a4ce25f573ec162619b8acf13185f7c67b5b6403  rabbitmq_cloudwatch_exporter-0.2.1.ez

$ sha1sum ~/downloads/rabbitmq_cloudwatch_exporter-0.2.1.ez 
b21fefe4849b01505f4eb7a19369db3a8661c3c7  ~/downloads/rabbitmq_cloudwatch_exporter-0.2.1.ez

The latter is the correct one as downloaded from GitHub.

Using wget fixes the issue.

$ export DLS="$(curl $CWPLUGIN | jq -r '.assets[].browser_download_url')" && (for u in $DLS; do wget $u; done;)
