Setup a nexus "Site repository" as a mirror of an distant site

I would like to set up a nexus "Site repository" as a mirror of an distant site, let's say http://www.nodejs.org/dist/.

I followed theses explanations : http://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/reference/_creating_a_site_repository.html and I created it (named nodejs-org-dist).

Additionnaly, I configured the mirror tab by adding the distant url (http://www.nodejs.org/dist/) to the list of the mirrors.

Doing that, I was expecting to access this file

http://www.nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.33/node.exe

.. through this link :

http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/sites/nodejs-org-dist/v0.10.33/node.exe

But it does not seem to work at all (I get a 404).

So :

• Does this make sense to expect that behavior ?
• It is possible to do that ?
• If it is, what did I do wrong ?

I am really new to nexus and all this repositories' world.

Thx a lot for your help.

NB: I am using Sonatype Nexus™ 2.10.0-0

Site repositories can not be proxied. The mirror configuration will not cause Nexus to do any proxying as you want.
