When running under IIS, error message "Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)" appears

I've setup Nexus on an IIS and I installed nexus repository apt plugin.
I've successfully uploaded a couple of packages in it, but when I try doing apt-get update from a client, I get the following error:
Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)
After some research, it seems that the problem is that IIS (being on Windows) sends the InRelease file with CRLF instead of LF. If I manually (I'm using Fiddler as a proxy-in-the-middle) remove the CR characters from the output, apt-get update works perfectly (I've managed to install a couple of packages).
I'm not entirely sure if this is nexus-repository-apt related, or it's a problem from nexus itself. I've found a reference to BytesPayload in AptHostedFacet. I also found that AptSigningFacet signs the file after stripping the CR characters. I hope those help.
APT is now part of Nexus Repository Manager. Version 3.17.0 includes the APT plugin by default.
If this is still an issue if using 3.17.0 or later please file an issue at https://issues.sonatype.org/.
