James P. White updated IVY-864:
-------------------------------
Attachment: http_download_response_patch.txt
This is a patch to BasicURLHandler and HttpClientHandler so that they will only
successfully download a file if the HTTP response code is 2XX. I think that is
pretty much the right thing to do for starters (more elaborate would be dealing
with redirection 3XX).
> HTTP Handlers ignore unsuccessful response codes.

>
> 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.
