net/gitup: failure during ports update

[nunotexbsd]

Hello,

Got reports from gitup users that says that gitup stop working sudently.
Did a quick test at main-n285470-ba7f47d47dc1 with same results.

Looking for clues about what might be the cause.

Thanks

"gitup ports" yields this error:

The "ports" section of my gitup.conf contains:

        "ports" : {
#               "host"       : "github.com",
#               "repository" : "/freebsd/freebsd-ports.git",

                "repository" : "/ports.git",
                "branch"     : "main",
                "target"     : "/usr/ports",
                "ignores"    : [
                        "distfiles",
                        "packages",
                ],
        },

Can fetch with success from GH:

"ports" : {
                "host"       : "github.com",
                "repository" : "/freebsd/freebsd-ports.git",
                "branch"           : "main",
                "target_directory" : "/usr/ports_gitup",
                "ignores"          : [],
        },

Maybe something is causing error on nginx at git.freebsd.org....

It looks like nginx is beginning the response with a CR/LF which is breaking the check for the HTTP status code. This should be fixed now. Please let me know if the problem persists. Thanks!

This should be fixed now. Please let me know if the problem persists.

gitup -c ports - still the same problem.

[nunotexbsd]

With patch 38090aa applied, I've got success with gitup ports and gitup -c ports
