In Archiva 1.3.5, we are getting a lot of the following error type in the log. I know that when Archiva is looking for things in an external proxy it will cycle through the proxy list and build a URL for that proxy and just try it...if it fails, it tries the next proxy, and so on. But I don't think that's what is happing in this case, because all of these errors involve only one of our defined proxies: maven.atlassian.com.
If you try to find the artifacts at that proxy, they don't exist - so it makes sense that trying to retrieve them would fail. But I don't understand why it keeps trying to pull artifacts which don't exist at this particular proxy. Perhaps there is old information sitting around somewhere which is causing it to do this over and over? We do have a commons-logging/commons-logging artifact directory (to take one example from below), and it contains maven-metadata files for several proxies, including the file maven-metadata-atlassian.xml. It looks like these might keep track of which versions are available at each proxy? Perhaps we just need to delete the atlassian file to stop it from trying to poll that proxy for the artifacts which don't exist there? Perhaps they did exist there at some point in the past, and that's why we have such a file in the first place? Here are a few example errors: 2013-11-20 14:02:50,377 [http-10000-11] WARN org.apache.maven.archiva.proxy.DefaultRepositoryProxyConnectors - Transfer invalidated from http://maven.atlassian.com/public/commons-digester/commons-digester/maven-metadata.xml : Checksums do not match, policy set to FAIL, deleting checksum files and local file [archiva_path]/data/repositories/internal/.workingdirectory81927.tmp/maven-metadata-atlassian-public.xml. 2013-11-20 14:02:57,914 [http-10000-22] WARN org.apache.maven.archiva.proxy.DefaultRepositoryProxyConnectors - Transfer invalidated from http://maven.atlassian.com/public/commons-logging/commons-logging/maven-metadata.xml : Checksums do not match, policy set to FAIL, deleting checksum files and local file [archiva_path]/data/repositories/internal/.workingdirectory81974.tmp/maven-metadata-atlassian-public.xml.
