title: Unable to install remote charts using virtual helm repo in Jfrog Artifactory
body: <p>I have created a Helm repository in Jfrog Artifactory using 'Quick Setup'. </p>
  
  <p>Then used the Jfrog helm binary to add the virtual 'helm' repo:

  <p>I am able to add custom charts to the virtual repo, install them but not able to install charts from the helm-remote (i.e stable) repo:</p>

  <p>When I try to access any such chart, helm throws as error:</p>

  <p>On the Artifactory web ui, the helm virtual repo lists all the remote charts, but I'm unable to install them:</p>

  <p>I have done "helm repo update" multiple times. And also have deleted ~/.helm folder and "init" again. Still, am plagued by the same problem.</p>
  
  <p>I see the following error in the Artifactory System Logs repeated several times:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2018-02-28 09:18:34,266 [art-exec-2] [ERROR] (o.a.a.h.r.m.HelmVirtualMerger:194) -

  <p>What can be the possible issues here? Thank you for your help.</p>
