Feature Description

currently Assets like built packages in the various indexes/registries can be downloaded using a URL like https://gitea.example.com/organisation/-/packages/pypi/packagename/0.1.0/files/1

In pip, there is a concept known as "Direct References" which allows installing a package from a remote .whl/zip file, specified like this
requests @ https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/70/8e/0e2d847013cb52cd35b38c009bb167a1a26b2ce6cd6965bf26b47bc0bf44/requests-2.31.0-py3-none-any.whl
this works fine in both requirements.txt and pyproject.toml

gitea urls on the other hand error out with

 ERROR: Cannot unpack file TEMP\pip-unpack-i5ps0y5s\1 (downloaded from TEMP\pip-install-a4edpnb9\packagename_asdfkjlas5, content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8); cannot detect archive format
ERROR: Cannot determine archive format of TEMP\pip-install-a4edpnb9\packagename_asdfkjlas5

because they don't incluede the file extension.

This feature request is for the download links to include the filename and extension, to allow using the repository like this.

Are you sure the download was successfull? content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 doesn't look right.
Additionaly the download provides the correct file name in the header:
7ed18566e1/routers/api/packages/helper/helper.go (L56-L59)
