Nexus 2.11.2 and greater will return HTTP status 404 Not Found for content paths under .nexus/attributes. To allow serving these files:

Edit ${NEXUS_INSTALL_DIR}/conf/nexus.properties. Add a property on a new line:
```
nexus.content.attributeAccessEnabled=true
```
Start or restart Nexus for the changes to take effect. Requests for content paths which start with /.nexus/attributes/ will be allowed if the requesting user has read access to the targeted repository item.
