Hello,

there seems to be an error in the method the metadata of maven-archetype-plugin 
in central maven repository are served.

We noticed that we cannot proxy the plugin with our nexus repo manager. So we 
investigated the problem.
We startet to look at the file with a webbrowser and every thins seems ok. 
Then we try to download the file with wget, and now can see whats going wrong.
The file consist binary data!!!
So we decided to inspect the http-header with tcpdump and see that the content, 
which is served is compressed with gzip.
So we gunziped the file downloaded with wget and we can see the metadata.

Since it seems to be the only plugin, which is served this way, and only in 
central repo, not in ibiblio-mirror, we think this must be an error in the 
central repo.

Is this going to be fixed? Or have we to switch to ibiblio-mirror permanently?
