Howto download assets from raw repository

[Mariska]

Hi,

I've uploaded some artifacts to a hosted raw repository. However, I'm unable to download those artifacts.

I can run a curl query to retrieve the downloadUrl, but when I then try to download it, I get a 404.

command to search the assets:

$ curl -sSL -k -u admin:admin123 -X GET -G https://nexus3.domain.local/service/rest/v1/assets?repository=cc-oc-raw-internal

{
  "items" : [ {
    "downloadUrl" : "https://nexus3.domain.local/repository/cc-oc-raw-internal/./Certificates/XXX/xxx_holland_subordinate_ca.pem",
    "path" : "./Certificates/XXX/xxx_holland_subordinate_ca.pem",
    "id" : "Y2Mtb2MtcmF3LWludGVybmFsOmJiNmM2ZWY5Nzk2ZGFjODM5NjI2NDY3NmUzNGM1YTMw",
    "repository" : "cc-oc-raw-internal",
    "format" : "raw",
    "checksum" : {
      "sha1" : "7b49911346694edd404a1006308b61f4e3833eeb",
      "md5" : "526b154c4f835198c68fd63ef5b1f5df"
    }
  }],
}

If I then try to download the asset based on the downloadUrl, I get a 404:

curl k -u admin:admin123 -fsSL https://nexus3.domain.local/repository/cc-oc-raw-internal/./Certificates/XXX/xxx_holland_subordinate_ca.pem -O  
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Certificates/XXX/xxx_holland_subordinate_ca.pem

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Mariska

I suspect it's because the path to the asset starts with "./". Perhaps you could try removing the ./ from the url? What does the browse tree look like for that asset?

The dot is visible in the UI view:

However, it was indeed caused by the "." in the path. I've removed the assets and uploaded them again without the "." and now I can download them. Maybe you can add a note to the documentation that a '.' is not allowed. I thought I saw a "." in the example in the UI, however, it turns out, this is the "." from "e.g." after I enlarged my browser :-)

Thanks for the suggestion, Michael!

Mariska.
