    Description

      For some odd reasons somethimes errors just happen and a maven repo delivers an HTML error or login page for a request of a POM or JAR file. It seems as if the status code is valid then Maven (might be anything under the hood, maybe even ether?) is saving the result without any sanity check or validation.

      Therefore I frequently end up with "POM" or "JAR" files in my local repo that are no XML but HTML nonsens.

      I would expect maven to verify the content before officially placing it in the correct location inside the local maven repository on my disc.
