Description

Although by default the preemptive authentication should work now with Maven 3.0.4, a wireshare dump exposes, that each request for downloading a new dependency does not initially come with the authentication header. Only after Nexus replied with a 401 the right credentials are set in the authentication header. According to [1], since Maven 3.0.4 the default HTTP wagon uses preemptive authentication which cannot be disabled [2]. Even with Maven 3.1.1 it does not work.
