title: Nexus - proxy repositories with no indexes?
body: <p>I'm trying to add a proxy to a public repository (specifically <a href="http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/camel-extra/wiki/AddingMavenRepo">camel-extra</a>).  However, I get the following error in my Nexus logs:</p>
  
  <p><em>Cannot fetch remote index for repository camel-extra</em></p>
  
  <p>and then further down:</p>
  
  <p><em>The remoteURL we requested does not exists on remote server (remoteUrl="http://camel-extra.googlecode.com/svn/maven2/releases/.index/nexus-maven-repository-index.properties")</em></p>
  
  <p>I've ensured that 'Download Remote Indexes' is 'True', repaired the index, updated the index, all to no avail.  Browsing to the provided URL shows that the artifacts are there.</p>
  
  <p>So if a repository doesn't have this file, is it not proxy-able through Nexus?</p>
  
  <p>TIA,
  Roy</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the answers everyone - was able to pull the artifacts without the index.  Thanks again!</p>
