NullPointerException while resolving dependency

[Kamran Manzoor <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks,

I am new to Apache Ivy and I am using it to manage dependency in one of my
ant projects. All I want is to retrieve a jar from a custom URL (Bitbucket)
which requires Basic Authentication. However, I am getting
NullPointerException when I am trying to retrieve the jar with version
*2.5.1*.

*java.lang.NullPointerException at
org.apache.ivy.util.url.HttpClientHandler.getURLInfo(HttpClientHandler.java:243)*

I don't get NPE with *2.4.0* version of ivy but it does not send
credentials in the header. Any pointers/help will be greatly appreciated. I
have attached the simple example files here along with log files of both
the versions to reproduce the issue. Ant version is *1.10.7* for me.

I can reproduce the problem you see (and will open a JIRA ticket
attaching oyur files) when using Apache HttpClient. Everything works as
expected when not using Apache HttpClient but the "normal"
java.net.URLConnection based code path. At least I dodn't get any
exception, I haven't checked whether the credentials are included. Maybe
you can use this as a workaround until we get the bug fixed and a
patched release out.
