We publish maven artifacts to the release repository (for releases), and to the snapshot repository (for snapshots ie merge build) I can get the latest version of a released artifact using something like `http://repository.sonatype.org/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect/?r\=central-proxy\&g\=org.odpi.egeria\&a\=egeria-connector-xtdb\&v\=LATEST\&c\=jar-with-dependencies` However I can’t seem to do this for snapshots - it does not work ie: `wget http://repository.sonatype.org/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect\?r\=snapshots\&g\=org.odpi.egeria\&a\=egeria-connector-xtdb\&v\=LATEST\&c\=jar-with-dependencies` I would like to retrieve the latest snapshot (I am aware of the limitations ie it could be older version etc) The files look ok on the repo - for example right now the file I would expect the above to resolve to is [https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/repositories/snapshots/content/org/odpi/egeria/egeria-connector-xtdb/4.0-SNAPSHOT/egeria-connector-xtdb-4.0-20230316.072650-4-jar-with-dependencies.jar](https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/repositories/snapshots/content/org/odpi/egeria/egeria-connector-xtdb/4.0-SNAPSHOT/egeria-connector-xtdb-4.0-20230316.072650-4-jar-with-dependencies.jar) How do I correctly construct the query for this? ---

Any tips on this?
