[Bug 56115] New: Need to provide parameters to Ant's get task to reliably download behind firewall and proxy

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56115

            Bug ID: 56115
           Summary: Need to provide parameters to Ant's get task to
                    reliably download behind firewall and proxy
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: 7.0.47
          Hardware: Sun
                OS: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Packaging
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: mar009999@hotmail.com

In trying to build at work, when the ant process pulls dependencies for Tomcat,
it would often hang and timeout, failing at that particular download.

I debugged some and realized that it was due to default value of get's
"usehttpcaches" property set to true.  I edited the build file's trydownload
target to be this:

  <target name="trydownload" if="trydownload.run" depends="trydownload.check">
    <!-- Downloads a file if not yet downloaded and the source URL is available
-->
    <get src="${sourcefile}" retries="${trydownload.retries}"
httpusecaches="${trydownload.httpusecaches}" dest="${destfile}" />
  </target>

and I added these in build.properties.default:

trydownload.retries=3
trydownload.httpusecaches=false

This would keep the default behavior implied with ant's get task.  Then I
overrode that httpusecaches value in my build.properties file, and it reliably
works all the time.  I left the retries value as it didn't change my results
but thought it could prove useful for others.

--- Comment #3 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Thanks for the report and the suggested change. I have committed a variation
(use just the httpusecaches property for all instances of the get task) to
8.0.x for 8.0.4 onwards and to 7.0.x for 7.0.51 onwards.
