Hi all, I've come accross the following problem recently:
when downloading Jasperreports dependencies such as apache commons-xxx libraries with Maven, Jasper site doesn't send a 404 http code but a 202 code with a beautiful redesigned 404 html layered page (similar to this case http://www.mail-archive.com/users@maven.apache.org/msg92732.html). It happens when maven tries to download the maven-metadata file for example, so instead of having the previous content : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <metadata> <groupId>commons-digester</groupId> <artifactId>commons-digester</artifactId> </metadata> the maven-metadata file contains html code that Maven sure is unable to read. Obviously, I'm not Jasper forge administrator and can't change the way the site works, what are the solutions available to handle this kind of situation ? Thanks for your replies.
