Doh, well ignore that then. I should have done 30 seconds of searching before sending that one. :) But just FYI, when I myself tried accessing that URL last night, I had problems in my browser. First it was HTTPS problems as the URL did not match the server name being reported (I have the HTTPS Everywhere plugin turned on). I clicked "ignore" and went to the site and got HTTP 404 errors at /log4j/log4j/maven-metadata.xml so I moved up to /log4j/log4j and had the same errors. I did not grab the error but it was something related to Varnish cache - when I cause a 404 now, the error appears different. So at the very least, the mirror I was on (fastly.net) was having issues - and potentially this was mirrored to others, possibly explaining the troubles (??). I had no such trouble hitting the old standby of repo1.maven.org and resolving the files etc. These errors made me question the URL entirely. I hit it again just now and dns sends me to fastly.net again but this time the files are there. So, I would ask Richard to try again and see if things work better today, or if he is having the same troubles.
