+1 for this issue A recent change (same code working 1 month ago) somewhere looks to have broken artifact download.
I was trying a number of mirrors, and it fails across the whole set. I've no tried 1.9.2 yet but tcpdump'd the request GET /maven2/org/apache/accumulo/accumulo-core/1.4.3/accumulo-core-1.4.3.jar HTTP/1.1 Host: uk.maven.org Connection: close Accept: */* HTTP/1.1 403 Denied Access Server: Varnish Retry-After: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 401 Accept-Ranges: bytes Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2013 08:40:51 GMT Via: 1.1 varnish Age: 0 Connection: close X-Served-By: cache-lo83-LHR X-Cache: MISS X-Cache-Hits: 0 I suspect either "Connection: close" or lack of "User Agent" Succesfull wget header GET /maven2/org/apache/accumulo/accumulo-core/1.4.3/accumulo-core-1.4.3.jar HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Wget/1.13.4 (linux-gnu) Accept: */* Host: uk.maven.org Connection: Keep-Alive ________________________________ From: Chris Adams <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 27 August 2013, 21:59 Subject: Re: Artifacts Download - Permission Denied That's probably it. I'm using Ruby 1.8.7 on MacOS. I'll try upgrading to 1.9.2 to see if that resolves the problem. Crazily enough, this is a fairly recent issue… wonder what Maven Central changed… Thanks for the idea about upgrading Ruby; I wasn't even thinking in that direction. - Chris On Aug 27, 2013, at 3:57 PM, Alex Boisvert <[email protected]> wrote: > Weird.
