To configure a local or remote repository to redirect requests for direct download using the REST API, set the downloadRedirect attribute to be true (default, false). For example:
curl -u admin:password -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"rclass":"local", "downloadRedirect": true}' http://localhost:8080/artifactory/api/repositories/s3-genericAlternatively, you can set the downloadRedirect parameter in the repository configuration JSON to be true.
