[jira] [Closed] (MNG-5764) Tolerate "soft" 404, check downloaded pom files

["Michael Osipov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5764?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Osipov closed MNG-5764.
-------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Closing because there hasn't any change here. Moreover, signatures must tell you that the files is invalid. Writing the requested parser is a lifetime endeavor because you have to know all possible crap sites.

> With maven 3.2 if the user downloads a pom/jar from external repository and the network proxy sends a "soft 404", the html-content of the response will be stored in the pom file. It needs some work to find out what went wrong.
> When downloading pom files, the content of the pom file could be parsed and the file should not be stored in the local maven cache. In such cases the artifact should not be downloaded either.
