Description

I am able to download artifacts from several remote repositories into the internal repository. But I cannot download any dependencies into the snapshots repository. I always get a http-'Server redirected too many times (20)'-error. I read that this error occurs if the proxy authentication properties are not set correctly in the http client. I am behind a proxy with basic authentication and an empty password. This configuration works fine for the internal repository, but not for the snapshot repository.

Here are the logs:
