Issues? Or something changed - cannot download artifact without user/pass prompt

Trying to download in a script from maven central using a URL I’ve used plenty before – this fails.

Has something changed? The URL still seems to be in the current docs?

In case it was DNS or local network blocking, I tried from a cloud vm…

Same issue, from 52.7.7.122

Still the same here - which is making me wonder if this is an intentional change ? Or my bad memory

This is now working again
