Ivy does not keep track of HTTP session when BASIC authentication is used
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-1280
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1280
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Environment: Any
Reporter: Anders Jacobsson
Priority: Minor
When publishing through <ant:publish>, each PUT request towards the URL
resolver (Artifactory, protected with BASIC authentication) seems to be
duplicated, the first request without any authorization header and the second
one with. This creates unnecessary network traffic and increases build time.
Ivy should keep track of any established HTTP session and reuse that one, i.e.
only the very first request is duplicated.
I am using Commons HttpClient.
An alternative would be to expose preemptive authentication so that it is
configurable. It is less secure but still useful as it would probably mostly be
used for internal resolvers.
