Michael Osipov commented on MLINKCHECK-30:
------------------------------------------
I am somewhat confused what the real issue is? The rediect happens by
Sourceforce nginx config because of the user agent transmitted by your browser.
>From Firefox:
{noformat}
curl
"https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/checkstyle/checkstyle/7.7-SNAPSHOT/checkstyle-7.7-SNAPSHOT-all.jar";
-H "Host: downloads.sourceforge.net" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT
10.0; Win64; x64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0" -H "Accept:

I have found the crappy issue: Doxia Linkcheck, see
[here|http://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-tools/doxia-linkcheck/xref/org/apache/maven/doxia/linkcheck/validation/OnlineHTTPLinkValidator.html#155]:
{code:java}
System.setProperty( HttpMethodParams.USER_AGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE
6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" );
this.cl.getParams().setParameter( HttpMethodParams.USER_AGENT, "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" );
{code}
This code is horribly old, Commons HttpClient 3.x...
