Nexus 3 OSS as proxy for gcr private repo

Hi,

I was wondering is there a way to configure nexus3 as a proxy for private docker registry on gcr?

It seems I can add the user _json_key and paste the json file as a password so it authenticates to the *.gcr.io to get the manifest, but then to download each part of the container it gets redirected to *.appspot.com and gets 403 as anonymous user:

This part succeeds:
