As of January 15, 2020 I am receiving the following responses upon making requests to The Central Repository:

Requests to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ return a 501 HTTPS Required status and a body:

501 HTTPS Required. Use https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ More information at https://links.sonatype.com/central/501-https-required Requests to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/ return a 501 HTTPS Required status and a body:

501 HTTPS Required. Use https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/ More information at https://links.sonatype.com/central/501-https-required How do I satisfy this requirement so that I can regain access to Central?

I got this error in the console
