Have you looked in the Nexus Repository logs to see if there’s any more information? Do you expect your RPM to be only 1925 bytes?

Error code 405 means that the HTTP method is not allowed at the resource you’re requesting.  
The log line you posted shows that you are trying to use an internal API that is not meant to be used by users.  
Please have a look at this [article that shows how to upload a file to Nexus Repository 3](https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/115006744008-How-can-I-programmatically-upload-files-into-Nexus-3-).

@dsawa Is it possible to use the API for uploading directories with files/directories in them?
