No, it works fine with pkg_add, as I have repeatedly said, and a few months ago I did have a problem where a trailing slash caused problems with syspatch, which, without any pressure from me, I was informed would be fixed. The issue may simply be one of consistency, but looks more likely to be an error in the pkg_info script.
So, to sum up:
Pkg_add works;
Syspatch works;
Cloudflare was up last time I tried it;
Despite the above, pkg_info -Q does *not* work.
