wagon-http in Maven 2.2.0 fails on redirects

[Alexander Hvostov <al...@aoi.dyndns.org>]

Hello all,

I've run into a problem with the wagon-http in Maven 2.2.0. The artifact
deployment URL for a project of mine leads to a redirect (301).
wagon-http in previous versions of Maven handled this fine (aside from
uploading each file twice), but now, I get this exception instead:

I'm hoping this is a bug, so I'm posting it here. Please advise.

Thanks!

P.S. If reasonable, I suggest using "Expect: 100-continue" when
uploading, to avoid uploading the same file twice in case of redirect,
authentication needed, etc. See RFC 2616 section 8.2.3.
