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

Central Repository

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
