I hadnt been over enthused about -and certainly against dropping 1.3 support given how some platforms (e.g. FreeBSD) are still 1.3 only. Your mention of httpclient reminds me how atrociously inconsistent java.net is on the older platforms. As long as servers dont require auth or multi cookie support we'll be ok. probably. as long as we dont rely on reliable content-length headers or parsing of any error responses. > > We can move the maven-artifact (or portions thereof) code to Wagon > too.

The current layour really does rely on some kind of version artifact; and you cant do proper versioned repositories without it. your policy makes sense to me. > > So, how do we move forward on this? I'll look at coding ant and smartfrog support, write the unit tests, etc, etc, let you know how it worked. one problem I have for both systems is proxies; at work I cant go to remote http servers without proxy setup. What does maven do?
