-------------------------------------------
Hi Michael,
1. is usually a theoretical option, I have found pom files of different network
providers "soft 404" on my laptop. Airports, public wifi providers. It is very
unlikely that they would stop doing this for my request.
2. Running nexus on my laptop just to validate the downloaded pom files is
probably too expensive solution.
> Tolerate "soft" 404, check downloaded pom files

> With maven 3.2 if the user downloads a pom/jar from external repository and
> the network proxy sends a "soft 404", the html-content of the response will
> be stored in the pom file. It needs some work to find out what went wrong.
> When downloading pom files, the content of the pom file could be parsed and
> the file should not be stored in the local maven cache. In such cases the
> artifact should not be downloaded either.
