Issue with commons-httpclient?

[Craig L Russell <Cr...@Sun.COM>]

Hi Maveners,

The latest Maven 1.0.2 has a problem when using these directions:

Find the line of maven.xml in the project.properties file with the  
maven.remote.repo property, and add "http://www.apache.org/~clr/ 
downloads/maven" to the ibiblio and jpox urls.

What happens is that www.apache.org/~clr is redirected to  
people.apache.org and this redirection is not resolved by the  
httpclient used by Maven.

Are there any plans to update the code or the version of the jar file  
used in Maven? Would you like more information or should I file a bug?

Regards,

Craig
