Konrad Windszus commented on WAGON-405:
---------------------------------------
Finally figured out that enabling preemptive authentication works with
<servers>
<server>
<id></id>
<username>myuser</username>
<password>mypassword</password>
<configuration>
<wagonProvider>httpclient</wagonProvider>
<httpConfiguration>
<all>
<usePreemptive>true</usePreemptive>
</all>
</httpConfiguration>
</configuration>
</server>
</servers>
Please update the documentation at
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-http-settings.html#Example:_Using_Preemptive_Authentication
and fix the statement that preemptive authentication is enabled by default or
make it really the default within the code.
> Preemptive authentication still not working with Maven 3.0.4+

> Although by default the preemptive authentication should work now with Maven
> 3.0.4, a wireshare dump exposes, that each request for downloading a new
> dependency does not initially come with the authentication header. Only after
> Nexus replied with a 401 the right credentials are set in the authentication
> header. According to [1], since Maven 3.0.4 the default HTTP wagon uses
> preemptive authentication which cannot be disabled [2]. Even with Maven 3.1.1
> it does not work.
