Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-4147:
----------------------------------------
For the record, the HTTP provider was switched back to the Lightweight JRE impl
in Maven 2.2.1 so the issue generally remains. However, Maven 2.2.1 provides a
way to select/configure the HTTP provider, allowing users to choose an impl
that works for them, see also [Advanced Configuration of the HttpClient HTTP
Wagon|http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-http-settings.html].
> very long passwords cause LightweightHTTP wagon to line-wrap the
> Base64-encoded Authorization header

> I'll cross-file (and link) this issue into wagon, but Sun's HTTPURLConnection
> implementation uses a line-wrapping Base64 implementation. When passwords are
> very long, this causes an invalid HTTP request, since the Authorization
> header's value is line-wrapped.
