Our cocoapods proxying is not working. When we browse the cocoapods-proxy, we see a cdn\_metadata folder.
When we set the source in the Podfile as `https://foo.com/repository/cocoapods-proxy/`, Nexus returns 500 code errors when trying to download files in that folder because the files are located under a folder called `cdn_metadata`. If we try to append `cdn_metadata` to the Podfile’s source, we can download the files but then get other errors.
cdn\_metadata seems to be a Nexus folder, not something from cocoapods. Is there another configuration or setting option that aligns the Nexus folder hierarchy with cocoapods? Setting to remove cdn\_metadata?

You’d want to take a look at the nexus.log which likely includes details about what the cause of the 500 response.
