Comment 1 Grant Gainey 2022-01-28 14:42:10 UTC
The only way for Pulp to know there's a .treeinfo file in a repo, is to look for it (make a GET request for (url)/.treeinfo or (url)/treeinfo). If there isn't one, the remote server responds with a 404, and pulp continues on its way.

ltb-project.org is misconfigured. If you ask it for something that doesn't exist, rather than responding with a 404 (per the HTTP spec), it redirects you to the home-page with a "302 Found", which hands pulp back an HTML page.

"302 Found" is to be used when "the target resource exists but has been moved" - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-6.4.3  Asking for a nonexistent resource must NEVER be "found".

"404" "indicates that the origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists" - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.4


There isn't much Pulp can do when the remoter server lies about what it's handing back.
