Xavier Hanin resolved IVY-996.
------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: trunk

I've made some modifications on trunk which should fix this as you asked: 
making head requests only for potential matches. I've made some testing in my 
environment, and it works well. I'd appreciate feedback though to know if it 
works for you too.

> 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.
