Still 401 when retrieving a package manager binary from artifactory as an authenticated NPM registry

[Enrice]

This refers to closed #275

Sorry for ME being the bearer of bad news, but this is still no longer working.

My setup:
artifactory as private registry, requests have to be authorized.
nodejs 22.18.0
corepack 0.34.0

Authentication is setup using env variables:

COREPACK_NPM_REGISTRY=https://some.host/artifactory/api/npm/registry
COREPACK_NPM_TOKEN=<token>

When I do:
corepack install pnpm@latest -g

There happen to be 3 requests, the third is unauthorized:

https://some.host/artifactory/api/npm/registry/pnpm
https://some.host/artifactory/api/npm/registry/pnpm/10.14.0
https://some.host/artifactory/api/npm/registry/

One reason might be

corepack/sources/httpUtils.ts

Line 32 in 0b492c9

if (input.origin === (process.env.COREPACK_NPM_REGISTRY || DEFAULT_NPM_REGISTRY_URL) && process.env.COREPACK_NPM_TOKEN) {

which is incorrect in my view, because input.origin happens to be https://some.host without a path, so this expression can never be true.

But even then - the 3rd request is crap anyway, it should be something like that, but it isn't:
https://some.host/artifactory/api/npm/registry/pnpm/-/pnpm-10.14.0.tgz

Why?

This seems to be related to #725
