Wrong download link for RC 6

[corbinu]

The install link for v6 RC2 is incorrect

node-gyp configure                                                                                                                     [15:12:49]

Should be https://nodejs.org/download/rc/v6.0.0-rc.2/node-v6.0.0-rc.2-headers.tar.gz
not https://nodejs.org/download/release/v6.0.0-rc.2/node-v6.0.0-rc.2-headers.tar.gz

Also is there some way to specify the URL manually? Don't see anything about it in the documentation.

Likely a wrong setting in ci /cc @jasnell

[TBotV63]

This is also present in the latest nightly builds.

You can try the following option node-gyp configure --dist-url=https://nodejs.org/download/rc

[jbergstroem]

Yes, likely ci issue while passing vars to build -- release_urlbase needs to be changed if a job is manually.

Closing, not a node-gyp issue, see nodejs/node#6237 and nodejs/node#6312.
