Deprecation of www.nuget.org/nuget.exe

[anangaur]

We are deprecating the use of URL: www.nuget.org/nuget.exe which currently downloads nuget.exe version 2.8.6. If you have a dependency on this URL, we recommend you to start using https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/v2.8.6/nuget.exe.

For consistency, we are also changing this endpoint to redirect to dist.nuget.org, which is our primary home for downloading all released versions of nuget.exe.

Old redirect: https://az320820.vo.msecnd.net/downloads/nuget.exe
New redirect: https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/v2.8.6/nuget.exe

If you are interested in downloading newer versions of nuget.exe, please see the Downloads page on nuget.org.

For other methods of installing our client tools, please see our Installing NuGet client tool documentation.

There is still significant usage of the endpoint (~10K requests a day)
