[Bug]: New Microsoft.Playwright version 1.58 install fails with node and self-signed cert error

[kodaren]

Version

1.58

Steps to reproduce

I updated my .Net 8 console project to Microsoft.Playwright NuGet package 1.58.0 from 1.55.0.
Ran the "./playwright.ps1 install" and also "./playwright.ps1 install chromium" with same result, i.e. got a node and self-signed certificate error when downloading and the install failed.

I reverted to Microsoft.Playwright NuGet package 1.55.0 and then removed the binaries. Ran install again and it downloaded the browser and installed properly.

Expected behavior

It downloads the browser and install properly.

Actual behavior

Install fails during download of browser with a node and self-signed certificate error. See output below:

I found additional info with curl. For version 1.55 there is different download url path:
https://cdn.playwright.dev/dbazure/download/playwright/builds/chromium/1187/chromium-win64.zip
and a temporary redirect to a microsoft server:
Location: https://playwright.download.prss.microsoft.com/dbazure/download/playwright/builds/chromium/1187/chromium-win64.zip

However for version 1.58 the download url path is:
https://cdn.playwright.dev/builds/cft/145.0.7632.6/win64/chrome-win64.zip
and it redirects to a Google server:
Location: https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public/145.0.7632.6/win64/chrome-win64.zip

It is actually a very bad idea to download files from the Google storage cloud. It is a security issue as it is commonly used by scammers and for malware. Companies are thus very reluctant to whitelist this domain.

Done some more researching and if you provide "-L" för cURL then it works too with the new cdn link.
However the Playwright.ps1 script doesn't work. It doesn't seem to follow the redirect properly. Is it because it's a different domain?
