API endpoint /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}?branch returns 404 in version 1.23.0

Description

In version 1.22.6, I was able to download a file using the API endpoints:

• /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}?branch
• /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}

However, in version 1.23.0, while the endpoint /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath} still works, the endpoint /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}?branch returns a 404 error, even though the branch exists.

I don't think /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}?branch works maybe it should be /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}?ref=xxx? It seems there is no real changes in related code in latest release.

sorry, my bad. Of course, I meant /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}?ref=xxx.
I use a program since ages to download a file from a gitea server. The program is not working with gitea 1.23.0, but in 1.22.6 works. The behaviour can be reproduced in the gitea demo site.

I can confirm this issue in gitea.com
If the ref name is branch/tag, it will be 404. Only SHA works well.

I think you mean ?ref=branch

It has been fixed in 1.23.1

• raw file API broken after updating from 1.22.6 to 1.23.0 #33164
