I've noticed that "pkg update --no-refresh" generates traffic while pkg
is "Creating Plan". A crude analysis of the traffic shows that it is
doing a HEAD request for each manifest. Is this some sort of a
pre-flight check to be sure the packages exist in the repo or a bug?


$ strings /tmp/snoop | egrep -e 'HEAD|GET|POST'

This is not a bug.

It is part of the repository statistics system.
