That table works as a way to check package availability for a particular
architecture (it even provides some timestamps), but to download the actual
*.pkg files one still has to know the direct URL.  Doing this via `pkg fetch'
is not always feasible, esp. on non-bootstrapped machine without super-user
permissions:

  $ pkg fetch bash
  pkg: . wrong user or group ownership (expected 0/0 versus actual 1000/1000)
  $ pkg fetch --show-me-the-url --do-not-download bash
  pkg: unrecognized option `--show-me-the-url' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Apparently it got only worse, they reconfigured the server so it no longer
returns 403 for a package directory, but hides it ("All") from the index.  In
2026, direct URLs look like this:

  $ curl -I http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/bash-5.3.9.pkg
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
