I don't like hitting the core infrastructure harder because some network equipment vendor (or its administrators) screwed up (no there is no reason to configure a proxy as described). But I have an idea to work around this ugly problem: Instead of serving a static update center catalog from the netbeans-vm we could generate the update catalog based on a template. The idea is this. A call like this: curl --output - https://netbeans-vm.apache.org/uc/11.1/updates.xml.gz | gzip -d would still yield: <!-- ... ---> <module codenamebase="org.netbeans.modules.xml.tools" distribution="ide/org-netbeans-modules-xml-tools.nbm" downloadsize="41364" homepage="http://www.netbeans.org/"; license="4AC3D4C1" moduleauthor="" needsrestart="false" releasedate="2019/07/16" targetcluster="ide"> <manifest AutoUpdate-Show-In-Client="false" OpenIDE-Module="org.netbeans.modules.xml.tools/2" OpenIDE-Module-Display-Category="XML" OpenIDE-Module-Implementation-Version="netbeans-release-428-on-20190716" OpenIDE-Module-Java-Dependencies="Java > 1.7" OpenIDE-Module-Long-Description="The module contains various actions and tools.

That would need some documentation on the download page, but that way normal users are not affected, core apache infrastructure is not affected and enterprise users still can work. How does this sound?
