The general registry suddenly seems to be down. (This is Nightly Julia, but the same thing happens with 1.8.)

```julia
(@v1.10) pkg> up
┌ Warning: could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
│ exception = RequestError: HTTP/2 502 while requesting https://pkg.julialang.org/registries

  No Changes to `~/.julia/environments/v1.10/Manifest.toml`

```

ICMP works fine, though.

```julia
$ ping pkg.julialang.org
PING dualstack.k3.shared.global.fastly.net (199.232.18.217) 56(84) bytes of data.

```

I forgot what this result implies, maybe someone else knows:

```julia

I’m getting the same thing:

I’m also seeing this on a CI run for a library I work on

I can also see in my browser that this URL is returning a 502 [https://pkg.julialang.org/registries](https://pkg.julialang.org/registries)

The error persists 😕

Switching from WiFi to 4G doesn’t fix this, which suggests this affects everyone in my region in Europe, I guess.

[https://status.julialang.org/](https://status.julialang.org/) agrees that there is a major problem with package servers globally.

It just started working for me, thanks to whoever resolved the issue.
