Strange same goes for epel9-release. Epel8 works.

I checked the permissions and they are the same on all 3 of them.

Agreed, we're getting this only on EPEL7. Others (REHL8) are working correctly
Edited by brbaje

The current failure rate is about one in two requests, based on our current testing.

This is already reported/tracked at https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/11564

Please watch that ticket for more information.

The problem is the script that is supposed to update that link when epel-release updates is updating it everytime it runs and if httpd tries to get it right at that point it's replacing it it sometimes caches a 401.
