Description

It seems preemptive authentication in Maven using httpclient wagon provider doesn't work. With configuration taken form [1] Maven knock to repository (tested with Artifactory 2.2.5) as anonymous user.

<server>
 <id>repo-id</id>
 <username>user</username>
 <password>pass</password>
 <configuration>
  <wagonProvider>httpclient</wagonProvider>
  <httpConfiguration>
   <put>
    <params>
     <param>
      <name>http.authentication.preemptive</name>
      <value>%b,true</value>
     </param>
    </params>
   </put>
  </httpConfiguration>
 </configuration>
</server>

Confirmed by independent party also with Maven 2.2.1. I can sniff http traffic if needed.
