We are wanting to mirror openSUSE's download repository 
(http://download.opensuse.org/).  In this case, one of the repositories we need 
access to is 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances/.  
However, based on earlier communication with jFrog support, Artifactory 4.x 
doesn't support the colon in a URL.  We got around it temporarily by creating a 
separate repo that pointed directly to this URL, so the client didn't need to 
use a colon.  However, this is cumbersome and limited.

Our URL looks like this:
http://myserver/artifactory/openSUSE-mirror/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances:/Builder/openSUSE_13.2/repodata/repomd.xml

which corresponds to:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances:/Builder/openSUSE_13.2/repodata/repomd.xml

Artifactory returns us the following when zypper attempts to pull the repo:

{
  "errors" : [ {
    "status" : 500,
    "message" : "Could not process download request: Invalid path. ':' is not a 
valid name character: 
openSUSE-mirror-cache/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances:/"
  } ]
}

Artifactory log:

The highlighted URL is definitely reachable and downloadable.

Is there any way we can support mirroring openSUSE repos without creating a new 
remote repo for each repository?
