HTTP Handlers ignore unsuccessful response codes.
-------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-864
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-864
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: James P. White
The HttpClientHander.download and BasicURLHandler.download methods don't bother
to check the HTTP response code from the server. As a result they will put
anything that the server sends back as the contents of the artifact. This
isn't so good if it is something like the HTML message for a 404 or 503 and
what you wanted was a JAR file. In fact it is pretty bad because then the
cache is poisoned and the user is left with purging the cache as the only
solution.
