I can't even curl
http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/scm/maven-scm-provider-cvsexe/1.9/maven-scm-provider-cvsexe-1.9.pom

C:\Users\dantran>curl
http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/scm/maven-scm-provider-cvsexe/1.9/maven-scm-provider-cvsexe-1.9.pom
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

note central.maven.org and repo.maven.apache.org are the same host

But browser can see that file.

do you see the same thing

Thanks
