Since last update of nexus repository => bad URL "/" encoded as "%2F"

Sonatype Nexus Repository
1

Hello,

Since we updated Nexus Repository OSS from 3.40 to 3.44, we have encountered some issues with the artifacts’ download URL in raw repositories.

As a matter of fact, the “/” is now encoded as “%2F”, whereas it was not in the 3.40 release. For example :
Back in 3.40 : https://nexus.example.com/repository/myrepo/path/to/artifact.tar.gz
Now in 3.44 : https://nexus.example.com/repository/myrepo/path%2Fto%2Fartifact.tar.gz

Is anyone experiencing the same trouble ? This looks very similar to this issue which was fixed a long time ago : https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-17823.

Regards.

You’ll need to be more specific, where is this happening in Nexus?

I am also facing the same issue since upgrade from 3.43.0 to 3.45.0.
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enter the Nexus server’s URL. e.g. http://localhost:8081/
  2. Go-to Browse
  3. Select a Maven repository or a raw repository (doesn’t matter if it’s a hosted or group repository)
  4. Navigate to an asset and select it
  5. Click the selected asset’s URL

Expected result:
The asset is downloaded

Actual result:
Error 404 is encountered for an incorrect URL as reported above
