 We don't let maven access the public internet


As your repositories are all internal, and you don't let maven connect to
the public internet, what are you using to host internal repos? Nexus,
Artifactory? Either should provide https out of the box.

Also, why 'many' repositories? Your internal repository manager ought to
cache, mirror and aggregate, and be the single repo you need to reference.
