nit: die() messages should start with lower-case (in CodingGuidelines), and I think it's better to quote both, so:
die("unable to get pack '%s': '%s'", ...)Or maybe without the second '%s', as in 3e8084f1884 (http: check CURLE_SSL_PINNEDPUBKEYNOTMATCH when emitting errors, 2021-09-24) (which I authored, but just copy/pasted the convention in the surrounding code)>

die("failed to get '%*s'[...]", url.schema_len, url.url, )
