Re: Download ZIP file of private gitea repository

I followed gitea API:
https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/api-usage/

and tried:
curl -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -d '{"name":"test"}' -u
username:password https://gitea.your.host/api/v1/users/<username>/tokens


curl --request GET --url https://yourusername:password_at_gitea.your.host
/api/v1/users/<username>/tokens

Both curls were successful.

Then I tried:
curl --location-trusted --user myusername:mypassword --request GET -H
"Authorization: token 16c3e37d" -O --url
https://someurl.com/mydir/archive/master.zip

I got the same file, size is still only 8534 bytes, much smaller than the
expected file size. The content I sent earlier today.
How to proceed further?
