Corporate IP 178.218.42.94 blocked on repository.jboss.org (Read timed out)

[Daniil Smirnov]

Hello,

Our corporate IP address (178.218.42.94) appears to be rate-limited or blocked when trying to download artifacts from https://repository.jboss.org/ (e.g. receiving Read timed out for valid .jar files like org/apache/cxf/cxf-core/4.1.8-jbossorg-1/cxf-core-4.1.8-jbossorg-1.jar). Small .pom files download fine, but larger .jar files fail instantly.

We have identified the root cause on our side: our internal repository manager (JFrog Artifactory) was generating excessive un-filtered metadata request traffic (maven-metadata.xml) across virtual repository groups.

We have now strictly configured Include Patterns (limited to org/jboss/**, org/apache/cxf/**, org/hibernate/**, org/wildfly/**, etc.) on our Artifactory instance to completely eliminate all unwanted/junk traffic to your Nexus repositories.

Could you please unblock/whitelist our IP address 178.218.42.94?

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi,

I reached out to someone to see if they know how to help. The WildFly developers themselves don't have any control over that sort of thing.

Hello. Thank you very much. I wrote here because I didn't know any other way to contact the administrators of this repository.

Hi Daniil,

https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/NEXUS-1124 is a tracker for your request. I *think* that ticket should be visible to any redhat.atlassian.net user.

Best regards,

Brian

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't have the permissions.

OK; I'll keep an eye on it and report back.

The person I pinged was unaware of any permanent blocking system. That doesn't mean there isn't one somewhere, e.g. with the CDN that's used. But if it starts to work, please let us know.

Best regards,

Brian
