403 forbidden on README.

tokei's README is getting a 403 forbidden.

So because you have an include key in tokei's Cargo.toml and the value for include does not list README.md, the README isn't actually in the .crate archives. Do you not want your README in the .crate files purposefully?

I see that tokei's readme DOES show up on https://crates.io/crates/tokei now, because you've since published 6.1.0. cargo publish sends the readme separately from the .crate archive, and saves the latest received readme content in the database for use during searching. The readme rendering that happens on publishing is also using that.

However, we have a script that rerenders readmes that isn't looking in the database at all. So for example, tokei 6.1.0's readme has a table, and we changed markdown renderers to fix that, but the script to RErender readmes is only looking in the .crate archives for readmes, so it wasn't able to rerender tokei's and the old html wasn't replaced. That's definitely an enhancement we should make for the most recent version, at least. I filed #1019 for that.

To support crates that have a readme, a repository URL, and don't have the readme in the .crate archive, I suppose we could fall back further to request it from the repository?

@carols10cents I excluded the README.md since I had to add the include at one point as I was hitting the 10MB limit for a crate on https://crates.io, and since I don't think anyone can actually request the crate's source I didn't think it needed to be included.

it looks like the root cause was identified here and since there wasn't much activity lately I'll go ahead and close this issue now
