Authentication Header (maven-metadata.xml)

[Eduardo Souza <ed...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is there any reason to not send the authentication header when downloading
the maven-metadata.xml file in the deploy phase when the artifact is
snapshot?

your repository can be protected even for reading and how Maven could know
it's not?
as long as there is an entry in ~/.m2/settings,xml with an id corresponding
to the same id in your pom the authz will be sent.
If this is really a problem (if you use https it shouldn't be) you can have
a look at some extra configuration here
