In order to find the main jar of an artifact, I added an empty maven.classifier parameter as documented here: Search API ([sonatype.com](http://sonatype.com))

Now, after upgrading to PRO 3.58.1-01, this is no longer working.  
I do not know the previous used version, deciding this version is not in my control anyway, so turning back the upgrade is not an option.

The used url:  
[https://nexus.company.com/service/rest/v1/search/assets?repository=snapshots&group=com.group&maven.artifactId=tool&maven.extension=jar&version=\*&maven.classifier=&sort=version](https://nexus.company.com/service/rest/v1/search/assets?repository=snapshots&group=com.group&maven.artifactId=tool&maven.extension=jar&version=*&maven.classifier=&sort=version)

Is there an update or alternative to the documented approach?
