Konrad Windszus commented on WAGON-405: --------------------------------------- Finally figured out that enabling preemptive authentication works with <servers> <server> <id></id> <username>myuser</username> <password>mypassword</password> <configuration> <wagonProvider>httpclient</wagonProvider> <httpConfiguration> <all> <usePreemptive>true</usePreemptive> </all> </httpConfiguration> </configuration> </server> </servers> Please update the documentation at http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-http-settings.html#Example:_Using_Preemptive_Authentication and fix the statement that preemptive authentication is enabled by default or make it really the default within the code. > Preemptive authentication still not working with Maven 3.0.4+ > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: WAGON-405 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGON-405 > Project: Maven Wagon > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > Attachments: WAGON-405-MVN3.1.1.log > > > Although by default the preemptive authentication should work now with Maven > 3.0.4, a wireshare dump exposes, that each request for downloading a new > dependency does not initially come with the authentication header. Only after > Nexus replied with a 401 the right credentials are set in the authentication > header. According to [1], since Maven 3.0.4 the default HTTP wagon uses > preemptive authentication which cannot be disabled [2]. Even with Maven 3.1.1 > it does not work. > [1] - http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-http-settings.html#Maven_3.0.4 > [2] - > http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Maven-3-0-4-preemptive-auth-problem-tt5470892.html#none -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
