I want to proxy docker distroless docker registry in nexus.  
The problem is when I try to pull `gcr.io/distroless/java11-debian11` it redirects to another URL (`https://console.cloud.google.com/m/gcr/images/redirect?project=distroless&location=GLOBAL&repo_name=java11-debian11` in this case), and it seems Nexus does not proxy this.

Is there any way I can proxy this repository?

In repository configuration, I set `https://gcr.io/distroless/` as repository URL.

If you haven’t, upgrade to the latest version to see if it is still reproducible.

If it is with the latest version you may want to file a bug report at [https://issues.sonatype.org/](https://issues.sonatype.org/)
