In addition to other uses of Ivy, we currently use Ivy's packager resolver
with URL resources that exist externally on the Internet or are created
locally by automated build procedures. In starting to learn about
Artifactory, I had hoped to find that Artifactory could be used as a caching
proxy for the resources that the packager resolver requires. Although
Artifactory is able to cache a file whose URL is inconsistent with the
expected layout for an external repository, I have run into at least two
obstacles:

1. If the server where a file is hosted does not support HEAD requests,
Artifactory will not try to retrieve the file.

2. URLs that do not directly specify the path of the requested file probably
are not supported.

Aside from the natural workaround of explicitly copying the problematic
files to a local location (inside or outside artifactory), is there some
other approach that might work for this scenario?

Caching arbitrary URLs obviously is outside the domain for which Artifactory
is intended. Is there a different tool that would be more appropriate for
this need?
