Major Description
Resolution of a + dependency using a vfs resolver (with ftp) fails with a "Could no read from ... because it is not a file" error. This problem does not occur if the revision is specified explicitly (e,g, 1.3.1). It looks like there is a problem either with the file specifier ivy is passing to the vfs resolver or the vfs resolver is having problems handling the passed file specifier.
Work around is to specify 2 resolvers - a fetch resolver using the url resolver and a publish resolver using vfs. The fetch resolver is used for artifact lookup and retrieval while the publish is used to place an artifact in the repository.
I'll try to take a look at it next week, but my time is currently seriously constrained.
Here's the basic error message:
