Jesse Glick commented on MINDEXER-13:
-------------------------------------
Agreed that {{Content-Encoding}} is inappropriate here. Nonetheless, it would
be best if {{IndexDataReader}} detected this mistake (as in the patch), issued
a warning with your explanation, and then recovered gracefully.
> *.gz index not loadable using default LightweightHttpWagon
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MINDEXER-13
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINDEXER-13
> Project: Maven Indexer
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Environment: Ubuntu, JDK 6u24
> Reporter: Jesse Glick
> Attachments: MINDEXER.diff
>
>
> If you create a new-style index (without {{--legacy}}), publish on an HTTP
> server (Apache 2.2.9 in my case), and try to download the remote index from a
> client using the default {{LightweightHttpWagon}}, the download fails.
> The wagon upon seeing {{Content-Encoding: gzip}} automatically decompresses
> the index and serves the raw data. {{IndexDataReader}} then passes this to
> {{GZIPInputStream}} which chokes. (MINDEXER-12 then conceals the actual
> problem and makes it look like the indexer only accepts the legacy format.)
> Have a patch which seems to work. Probably
> {{DownloadRemoteIndexerManagerTest}} needs to be enhanced to check this case;
> I am not very familiar with Jetty so I have not tried this yet.
> (Nexus sends {{Content-Type: application/x-compressed}} but no content
> encoding so the problem is not visible when using a Nexus mirror.)
