Artifactory npm remote to GitHub Packages doesn't work

GitHub Packages only supports Scoped packages:

https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-packages-with-github-packages/configuring-npm-for-use-with-github-packages#publishing-a-package:
^^^ Search for "GitHub Packages only supports scoped npm packages"

Artifactory can receive back the package.json (npm metadata) from Github correctly. However it will still fail due to a JSON parsing issue and will a 404 to the client as result.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Steps to configure the remote:

a. Utilize the following URL: https://npm.pkg.github.com
b. You must enable the Bypass HEAD request on the remote
c. Define the Github User + Access Token (generate it from your GitHub account page)

2. Upload and resolve a package to GitHub Packages by following this guide:

https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-packages-with-github-packages/configuring-npm-for-use-with-github-packages#publishing-a-package

Or; use the below command to retrieve an already published test package:

url -Lvv "http://localhost:8080/artifactory/api/npm/npm-github/@andreikom/npmtest" -uadmin:password 

You will get the following error in the log:
