preemptive auth in non-lightweight http wagon causes Unauthorized responses
from some servers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WAGON-270
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGON-270
Project: Maven Wagon
Issue Type: Bug
Components: wagon-http
Affects Versions: 1.0-beta-5
Reporter: John Casey
Priority: Blocker
the http wagon uses preemptive authentication, which means that if you have a
server entry with username and password in it that don't correspond to a user
on the server you're trying to reach, that server will sometimes respond with
Unauthorized regardless of whether authentication is even required to perform
that operation on that target URL.
We should allow the configuration strategy from WAGON-269/WAGON-264 to
configure the 'http.authentication.preemptive' httpclient parameter, and turn
off preemptive authentication by default.
