Eric Anderson commented on IVY-996:
-----------------------------------
I'd love to test this from Eclipse (I have a guy in the field), however I don't
know how to take a nightly and get it setup with ivyde. Any help would be great

> h3. Fixing useless extra HEAD requests
> When searching for an artifact named "project" version "2.2.+" for
> organization "org", Ivy attempts HEAD requests for completely not possible
> versions.
> IE: /org/project/0.9.2/ivy-0.9.2.xml
> This is not terribly painful unless you have thousands of builds and are not
> on the same network as your ivy server.
> h3. Are HEAD requests even necessary?
> Simply getting a directory listing should be good enough to determine if
> there is an artifact (for choosing latest-release). Now, after one is chosen,
> if no ivy.xml file exists, I could understand trying the next one, but trying
> all of them, just to select the latest one anyways seems like a complete
> waste.
