Hi,
I’m attempting to use the QEMU tool qemu-img to interrogate/download artifacts which are stored in a Nexus repository (3.30.0-01), which results in the following error:
qemu-img info http://nexus:8081/repository/test/file.img
qemu-img: Could not open 'http://nexus:8081/repository/test/file.img': CURL: Error opening file: Server does not support 'range' (byte ranges).
Having compared some network captures from nexus and an apache webserver hosting the same file, the above error appears to be happening as Nexus doesn’t return an “Accept-Ranges” header.
Apache:
HEAD /test/file.img HTTP/1.1
Host: apache
Accept: */*

From testing directly with curl it appears that the Nexus webserver does actually support ranges, however the lack of the Accept-Ranges header is causing qemu-img to error.
Has anyone experienced anything similar or know if this is fixable?
Cheers,
Rob
