Simple question for someone using Image Builder on RHEL 8.3

When you create and download an Edge TAR file, does your TAR file contain any of these files?
* treefinfo
* .treefinfo
* repomd.xml

These files are supposed to be downloaded from cdn.redhat.com during install of Image Builder according to package.log. On my system the download fails (SSL Cert Error). Therefore the files are missing in the TAR file which means the installation fails.

Bonus question: Where are those files put on your system?

Thanks.
