404 error on yum nginx repository

Wed Sep 19 01:35:56 UTC 2018

Seems like maybe something is broken on the nginx packages download.

For example, if I curl this endpoint I get a set of results from 31-Jul-2018

$ curl https://nginx.org/packages/rhel/7/x86_64/repodata/

The result is that you download the repomd.xml from whatever is returning
the first set of results, but then you try to download
5dd555d317e17e2612f394576dc02326d7c06d18a15c102b24070efe69a09d06-filelists.sqlite.bz2
but it gets handled by by whatever is returning the second set of results,
you get a 404.
