Description

org.apache.ivy.plugins.repository.url.UrlResource#openStream uses java.net.URL#openStream rather than going through the URLHandlerRegistry like init does. This breaks authentication support. I encountered this bug when using a version range specification (1.+) against a secured Maven repository, but I imagine that it can cause any number of other problems. The fix is simply to change openStream to work the same way init does, by replacing

return url.openStream();

with

return URLHandlerRegistry.getDefault().openStream(url);

This change passes all tests and solves my problem.
