Didier Loiseau commented on MNG-8231:
-------------------------------------
I found [the relevant
file|https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blob/master/content/markdown/guides/mini/guide-resolver-transport.md],
however at first glance I don’t see a way to generate the URL dynamically. The
site repository does not appear to have a direct link with a specific version
of Maven.
I guess adding a property for the specific version would be a solution, but it
would need to be maintained actively so it might not be the best option. I
suppose there might be other similar links – although resolver and wagon seem
to be one of the only {{org.apache.maven}} dependencies which do not use the
same version as maven itself (based on
[pom.xml|https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/pom.xml]).
I guess another approach might be to somehow extract the dependency version
from the Maven pom.xml, and inject it as a property for building the site, so
it would get updated automatically when {{${currentStableVersion}}} changes.
I noticed that the page
[repositories/metadata|https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blob/master/content/markdown/repositories/metadata.md?plain=1]
has a link to {{{}/ref/current/maven-repository-metadata/{}}}, which actually
redirects to the specific version [thanks to the
.htaccess|https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blob/abc38f0ef348ac3bac413b975650b04960cb81d3/content/filtered-resources/.htaccess#L8-L9],
but I don’t know if it would be a good solution for Resolver (and Wagon)
considering that Maven is not using the “current” version of those.

> Key: MNG-8231
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8231
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation: General, Documentation: Guides
> Affects Versions: 3.9.9
> Reporter: Didier Loiseau
> Priority: Major
>
> The page [Guide for Resolver
> Transport|https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-resolver-transport.html]
> has a link at the end of the page:
> {quote} * For Native HTTP transport detailed configuration user properties
> are [collected on this
> page|https://maven.apache.org/resolver/configuration.html].{quote}
> This links points to the non-versioned site of the Maven Resolver, which is
> now in version 2.x, however the latest release of Maven (3.9.9) still appears
> to use version 1.9.x.
> I was trying to disable redirects, as documented in the mentioned page, but
> it seems this was introduced in 2.x, as per MRESOLVER-595 – so only available
> in the upcoming Maven 4.x, as far as I understand.
> I didn’t check if other pages were affected, nor was I able to find the
> actual documentation for Resolver 1.9.
