@KN4CK3R can you write example of usage like for debian?

curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
     --upload-file path/to/file.deb \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/debian/pool/bionic/main/upload

This endpoint intended to be called by cargo publish but you can just send a PUT request with curl if you want to do that.

I'm trying type:

curl --user {user}:{password or token} --upload-file mypackage-0.1.0.crate \
    https://gitea.example.com{xxx}/cargo/api/v1/crates/new

with diffirent {xxx} path variants (for example: empty, /{user}, /{organization}...) but allways get:

Not found.

UPDATE: Right path in https://gitea.example.com/{owner}/_cargo-index/config.json.

UPDATE2: Now I'm learning Web API from The Cargo Book.

Unfortunately It's not work, because:

The body of the data sent by Cargo is:

32-bit unsigned little-endian integer of the length of JSON data.

Metadata of the package as a JSON object.

32-bit unsigned little-endian integer of the length of the .crate file.

The .crate file.
