How to test the https connection of a Nexus Repository Management server

I've just setup a Nexus server. I know that my http connection works since I get the "Welcome" page which gets loaded via http. However, I don't see any components when I browse the repositories (the default repos like "Maven Central" are configured).

I don't really know whether it's normal that there aren't any components shown or if my https connection doesn't work (it's quite a hassle with the company's proxy that's why I'm suspicious). So, how can I test whether the https connection works?

This is normal. Repositories will only contain artifacts once you have retrieved some of them via the repository manager. E.g. configure Maven as documented in the tools chapter and they proxied artifacts will show up in proxy repos.

You can try to use the Browse Remote tab on the Central proxy repository to verify that a connection to it does work.

For hosted repos you would publish to them.

If you need to connect to the internet via a proxy server you can configure that as well http://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/reference/configxn-sect-customizing-server.html

Check out the documentation for more tips.
