Description

Gitea has issues serving URLs that Gogs otherwise used to server without issue when requesting /raw/ related data from an external source. The issue seems to only trigger for me so far when there is a space in a file name.

For example, on Gogs, both of these are valid but Gogs will offer you the first link when clicking the 'Raw' button to view the file:

https://example.com/SomeOwner/SomeRepo/raw/master/data/Some File Name.xml
https://example.com/SomeOwner/SomeRepo/raw/branch/master/data/Some File Name.xml

Gitea on the other hand gives you the 2nd one instead with the /branch/ part added to the url. On all other files, Gitea will work with either link, except files with spaces in the name so far. (Other special characters may cause issues too, haven't tested anything further than that at the moment.)

Instead, Gitea will get stuck in a redirect loop and eventually error out with:

https://example.com/SomeOwner/SomeRepo/raw/master/data/Some%20File%20Name.xml/branch/master/data/Some%20File%20Name.xml/branch/master/data/Some%20File%20Name.xml/branch/master/data/Some%20File%20Name.xml/branch/master/data/Some%20File%20Name.xml/branch/master/data/Some%20File%20Name.xml/branch/master/data/Some%20File%20Name.xml/branch/master/data/Some%20File%20Name.xml

And 404.
