Conan smart remote repository pull replication doesn't work when configured with /api/conan

Conan smart remote repository pull replication doesn't work when configured with /api/conan in the URL, when pull replication is scheduled or manually triggered, in the artifactory.log the below log entry is seen where replication is successful with 0 deployed files although nothing is replicated,

2019-09-25 07:28:13,155 [art-exec-5717] [INFO ] (o.a.a.c.BasicStatusHolder:218) - Completed remote folder replication for conan-smart-repo/ with 0 deployed files, 0 deleted files, 0 properties change, 0 statistics change, 0 mkDirs... average events per second 0

 

When /api/conan is removed from the remote URL, pull replication is actually completed and replicates all the artifacts as shown in the below log entries from Artifactory.log,

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a conan-local repository in a distant Artifactory.
2. Create a smart remote repository that points to the conan-local repository with /api/conan endpoint.
3. Trigger manual replication, replication is successful but nothing is cached under the conan cache repository.
4. Remove the /api/conan endpoint from the URL and trigger the replication
5. Replication is successful and the artifacts are downloaded and cached in the conan cache repository
