[jira] (WAGON-401) Access Denied due to missing User-Agent

["Herve Boutemy (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGON-401?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Herve Boutemy reopened WAGON-401:
---------------------------------


one use case has been fixed, but there are other in other plugins

IMHO, a default User-Agent should be defined, to reduce the gap between wagon-http and wagon-http-lightweight: not hard to do and will avoid more problems

> In the last week of August 2013 the policy of Maven Central has been changed. Files like {{maven-metadata.xml}} now require a {{User-Agent}} in their request.
> Otherwise it will fail with an Access Denied status.
> The preferred solution is an adjustment of the policy at Maven Central, but it wouldn't harm if Wagon would set the User-agent.
> The attached could be considered as a smoketest.
