Description

I have a settings file in my home directory (~/.m2/settings.xml) that works fine with maven 3.x (including 3.9.0)

containing

  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>myco-internal</id>
      <mirrorOf>external:*</mirrorOf>
      <url>https://nexus-cache.mycorp.com/content/groups/staged</url>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>

with maven 4.0.0-alpha4 when building a project it will fail in dependency resolution due to the `maven-default-http-blocker` mirror.

unable to create flattened dependencies: caught exception when flattening dependencies: Failed to read artifact descriptor for javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api::3.1.0: Could not transfer artifact net.java:jvnet-parent:pom:3 from/to maven-default-http-blocker (http://0.0.0.0/): Blocked mirror for repositories: [glassfish-repository (http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish, default, releases+snapshots)] -

However I expect that my user settings should override global settings.

as external:* used in my local settings should also match anything that is matched by external:http:* in the global settings I would not expect that the global settings mirror would be used.

However this is infact the case.

if I use --global-settings to specify my local settings file then the builds work

Additionally changing my mirror defintion to be <mirrorOf>external:*,external:http:*</mirrorOf> still does not work

initial output from mvn -x install
