It works for me - see below.

That works too.

That page no longer exists.

That page does mention both the sig and the input file.

However I have found that gpg verify works fine with just the .sig or .asc
file.

GPG looks for a file with the .asc/.sig removed and uses that if it is found;
if not it reports:

gpg: no signed data
gpg: can't hash datafile: No data

Indeed.
The ASF one probably appeared after the httpd one.
