Hello,

We are encountering issues while downloading .jar files from Nexus.

- The command used is:

```
curl --cacert Cert.crt --location "https://nexus.example.com/service/rest/v1/search/assets/download?/*****" --output data-pln.jar
```

- In the nexus.log, we find the following error message:

```

Likely this means your elastic search index is missing. You could try using the task to rebuild the search index for the affected repositories.
