[jira] [Created] (MNG-6679) HTML content in POM: Maven should validate content before storing in local repo

Jörg Hohwiller created MNG-6679:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: HTML content in POM: Maven should validate content before storing in local repo
                 Key: MNG-6679
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6679
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: both with maven 3.6.0 in CMD or in Eclipse 4.9.0
            Reporter: Jörg Hohwiller


For some odd reasons somethimes errors just happen and a maven repo delivers and HTML error or login page for a request of a POM or JAR file. It seems as if the status code is valid then Maven (might be anything under the hood, maybe even ether?) is saving the result without any sanity check or validation.

Therefore I frequently end up with "POM" or "JAR" files in my local repo that are no XML but HTML nonsens.

 

Example:
{code:java}

function getQueryParameters() {
    var loc = '' + location;
    var idx = loc.indexOf('?');
    if (idx != -1) {
        return loc.substring(idx);
    } else {
        return '';
    }
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="redirectToAuth();">

</html>
{code}

I would expect maven to verify the content before officially placing it in the correct location inside the local maven repository on my disc.
