https://charts.loft.sh doesn't allow HEAD requests

[gyuhan87]

What happened?

None of the endpoints in loft's chart museum is allowing HEAD requests and returns 404 instead.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect the endpoints to return either 2xx or 3xx response codes.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

curl --head https://charts.loft.sh

curl --head https://charts.loft.sh/charts/vcluster-0.30.4.tgz

Anything else we need to know?

Reason being that I want to create a remote repo in the aritfactory (troubleshooting).

It seems to be addressed in the chart museum code. helm/chartmuseum#212

Host cluster Kubernetes version

vcluster version

Hey @gyuhan87 can you try using the index.yaml page:

curl -I https://charts.loft.sh/index.yaml
HTTP/2 200

Hi @cbron
I can send HEAD request to index.yaml and receive 200 response code.
Could it be done on the root?

Looks like chartmuseum has a bug around that right now, which they fixed but only around the multi tenant router, which doesn't appear to serve homepage. Is it critical that its root, can't be the index.yaml ?

Hi @cbron,

Unfortunately the artifactory expects a valid directory structure, not just an endpoint to download the helm charts.

Ok. We'll need to look into solution here, doesn't appear to be a simple fix.
