downloading metadata from pull-through cache is slow #5144

Version 0.5.0

Describe the bug When building a project with bundler, the metadata download step is significantly slower than when using rubygems.org directly as the source.

I believe this is because Pulp does not cache metadata. Maybe we could redirect users directly to the remote's URL for metadata?

We were able to work around this issue by pointing bundler at rubygems.org and only configuring gem to use Pulp. This is only a workaround when using Pulp Gem plugin.

Does the client perform ranged requests to the metadata files?
