Due to a bug in the Native UI browser, requests that were executed via the Native UI browser to download artifacts that are not yet cached in the remote cache repository resulted in 404 responses instead of downloading the files. The behavior was observed when the artifacts were attempted to be downloaded via the UI by accessing the “URL to file” in the browser. For example:
The request will automatically redirect to the native UI (ui/native) and will return a 404 response with the message “Couldn’t find item”:
This behavior has been fixed in version 7.49 of Artifactory.
If an upgrade is not possible right away, there are several possible workarounds:
- Disable the native UI redirection
- Download the artifacts via REST API
