Hi Sebastian,
There was an attempt at this in a PR recently, but it wasn't tested and
as per the submitter there wasn't a clear understanding on how it works
in certain cases. There's this JIRA
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1280 which is open for this task.
Given some other tasks, I'm not sure when I can get to this to
investigate what it takes to get this done, but if someone else doesn't
get to it before me, I'll take a look when time permits.

Hello to all.
I have been using IVY since 6 years now to manage our dependencies. By
now I run into an issue that our CI builds take longer and longer.
After investigating this I found that the ivy deliver ANT task first
uses unauthorized access to the target repository. After the server
rejects the request it makes a second attempt with the provided
credentials which succeeds. The problem now is that the deliver
artifacts are quite large (~1 GByte). So upon the first attempt the
artifact is uploaded and rejected and then again uploaded and
accepted. This takes a long time.
So my question is: is there any possibility to force preemptive
authentication or supply a http-header for any request to the
repository server?
Kind regards
Sebastian Götz
