The service is already on repository.sonatype.org. So, for example, to get the LATEST nexus-indexer (g: org.sonatype.nexus a: nexus-indexer), you need an URL like this:
http://repository.sonatype.org/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=snapshots&g=org.sonatype.nexus&a=nexus-indexer&v=LATEST The service does accepts RELEASE (will return 404 if param 'r' points to a snapshot repo!), LATEST and base version numbers for snapshots, and those will get resolved to latest timestamped version, if exists. Sadly, not visible from the browser, but the service does returns 404 if it is not able to resolve the query. This feature will be in 1.0, but... the only the redirect service is enabled for now, the two http://localhost:8081/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven http://localhost:8081/nexus/service/local/artifact/maven/content are disabled and will stay disabled in 1.0.
