Mirroring microsoft repositories seems to not work

[aselsing]

In short: We mirror the following:
deb https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/22.04/prod jammy main
Our arch:
set defaultarch amd64

Then hosts are configured with:
deb [arch=amd64] http://FQDN/mirror/packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/22.04/prod jammy main

Our hosts, on apt update returns the following error, stopping the apt process.
E: Failed to fetch http://FQDN/mirror/packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/22.04/prod/dists/jammy/main/binary-all/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: REMOVED 80]
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I think it's because there are no md5 sums in the Microsoft packages repository and this repository doesn't use Acquire-By-Hash.
You can try apt-mirror2 - it works well with such repositories.

@nE0sIghT We already use this version of apt-mirror in production.
It would be great if there was a PR/fix for this git repo.

It's unlikely you'll wait for the fix. Look to the #139

@aselsing #185 has a fix which lets you disable Acquire-by-hash. But as @nE0sIghT mentioned, apt-mirror2 looks very good.
