Hi, http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/maven_username_password_only_works_when_embedded_in_url
I think we should preemptively include credentials in HTTP requests to repositories if the user supplies them. Can anyone think of a reason not to do this? If so, how do we want to support repos that do require preemptive auth? Given that we have the credentials, I think we should just send them. We may as well have the discussion on what to do on that ticket. — Luke Daley Gradleware Join us for Gradle Summit 2014, June 12th and 13th in Santa Clara, CA: http://www.gradlesummit.com
