Download single file with curl get an error

Hi,

I have yesterday updated my gitLab Server from 8.5.x to 9.2.7. Before the update it was possible download a singlefile with following command:

curl http://<myip>/<link>/<file>?private_token="<PrivateToken>"

after the update I get the error

You are being <a href="http://<myip>/users/sign_in">redirected</a>.</body></html>You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

If I enable the extended logging with -vvv for curl I get the error

Hi,

I have find the error. I create the User over API and in the new version a new user needs a confirmation over mail. I have the API call extended with confirm=false and everything works again.
