Description

Github returns 404 when Continuum tries to download the POM file.

You'll get the following error in the logs:

2011-05-19 16:15:39,009 [btpool0-8] INFO action#create-projects-from-metadata - checking for settings auth setup
2011-05-19 16:15:39,010 [btpool0-8] INFO org.apache.maven.continuum.project.builder.maven.MavenTwoContinuumProjectBuilder - Downloading https://USERNAME:*****@github.com/myproject/raw/master/pom.xml
2011-05-19 16:15:44,102 [btpool0-8] WARN org.apache.maven.continuum.project.builder.maven.MavenTwoContinuumProjectBuilder - skip non handled http return code 404

It seems github behaves that way for private repositories (see http://support.github.com/discussions/repos/6007-how-to-grap-a-single-file-using-https-when-the-repository-is-private)

For wget, you need to add the --auth-no-challenge parameter in order to get the pom file.
