This solution is not working for us as we have Azure pipelines setup for building and deployment and each time maven dependencies gets downloaded directly from repository url . After trying the command which you suggested im git hub , I got error saying

Please refer the below attached screenshot for changes we tried

I tested in a simple eclipse maven project and it works absolutely fine on my end. The Aspose.Slides for Java 22.1 jar is extracted fine, see the screenshot for your reference.

@amjad.sahi

It’s working even for me in local setup , but its failing when I try to deploy this .
Can you tell me what kind of authorization it is expecting ?

pankajkundlia · June 11, 2024, 8:36am

try renaming your .m2 folder and it will fail even in your local

Anishek · June 11, 2024, 9:19am

@pankajkundlia I tried even that …deleted that aspose dependency from m2 folder…still it got downloaded again and worked fine .

pankajkundlia · June 11, 2024, 9:31am

I figured the issue for my case.

we were pointing to repository.aspose.com while the working config is releases.aspose.com

now I am confused how it worked till last week.

amjad.sahi · June 11, 2024, 10:15am

@Anishek,

We have informed the responsible team (hosting team). According to the team: “We have been experiencing a huge and sudden surge in parasitic traffic since the beginning of May. We expect this increase to continue. Therefore, we have enabled the Web Application Firewall, and it is quite possible that clients making more than 300 requests in 5 minutes have been blocked”.

We are working with our hosting team in order to resolve the problem soon. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. We will update you once any update is available.
