Hi you, **I try to reposync EPEL from Nexus OSS 3.34.0.1** I get this output from reposync on rhel8: `[MIRROR] the_silver_searcher-2.2.0^2020704.5a1c8d8-1.el8.x86_64.rpm: Status code: 400 for my-repo:8081/repository/epel-proxy/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/t/the_silver_searcher-2.2.0%5e2020704.5a1c8d8-1.el8.x86_64.rpm (IP: x.x.x.x)` Nexus output is: ```auto 2021-09-13 17:27:12,536+0000 WARN [qtp1170909618-102] *UNKNOWN org.sonatype.nexus.repository.yum.orient.internal.proxy.OrientYumProxyFacetImpl - Unable to resolve url.

I’ve open a case to EPEL here: [Issue #10297: the\_silver\_searcher-2.2.0^2020704.5a1c8d8-1.el8.x86\_64.rpm: Status code: 400 - releng - Pagure.io](https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10297) Whitout Nexus, it works: ```auto [root@8894dce44066 /]# dnf install the_silver_searcher Updating Subscription Management repositories.
