Comment (by henry.wright):

 Thanks for the explanation @desrosj. If a signature header isn't returned
 in the response and a signature file isn't made available then there's
 obviously no way to verify.

 Should the "The authenticity of wordpress-5.8.2-no-content.zip could not
 be verified as no signature was found." message be removed? Not all
 developers would have read the developer note and in such cases the
 message could cause confusion
