Extensions cannot be downloaded - HTTP 500 - Cloudflare Captcha

Hello,

I currently have the issue, on newly deployed docker installations, that I cannot search for non-indexed extensions.

In the logs I get the following on startup

xwiki | 2026-07-18 21:22:35,940 [extension.index job group daemon thread - org.xwiki.extension.index.internal.job.ExtensionIndexJob@4082f167([extension, index])] WARN o.x.e.i.i.j.ExtensionIndexJob - Failed to get remote extension from repository [extensions.xwiki.org:xwiki:https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/rest\]: IOException: Invalid answer [500] from the server when requesting [https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/rest/repository/search?start=0&number=100&q=\]

And when searchig I get

xwiki | 2026-07-18 21:46:38,024 [http-nio-8080-exec-3 - http://localhost:8080/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?section=XWiki.Extensions&search=openid+authenticator&repo=&recommended=false&indexed=false&compatible=on&compatible=false\] ERROR o.x.e.r.i.RepositoryUtils - Failed to search on repository [extensions.xwiki.org:xwiki:https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/rest\] with query [org.xwiki.extension.index.IndexedExtensionQuery@e777024]. Ignore and go to next repository.
xwiki | org.xwiki.extension.repository.search.SearchException: Failed to search extensions based on pattern [openid authenticator]
xwiki | Caused by: java.io.IOException: Invalid answer [500] from the server when requesting [https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/rest/repository/search\]

When I try browsing to the page I get a Cloudflare Captcha - maybe that’s the issue why XWiki cannot access it (?)

Thanks

Thanks for the report, we’re investigating the issue on extensions.xwiki.org. However it shouldn’t be related to cloudflare, the requests for extensions API should automatically bypass it.
