Hi, thanks for the replies.

After a little more research I discovered what @mworthington suggested, that I can download the file using the information I received in the webhook request, forming the url:

[https://nexus.corp.com/nexus/repository/releases/com/corp/enterprise/cr/schema/cr-common-schema/3.18/cr-common-schema-3.18-all.zip](https://nexus.corp.com/nexus/repository/releases/com/corp/enterprise/cr/schema/cr-common-schema/3.18/cr-common-schema-3.18-all.zip)

As this solves my problem, I will not be pursuing this issue any further.

Thank you for you feedback.
