Description

This seems to similar to WAGON-124.

Some maven repositories may respond with 204 no content for http HEAD requests. In those cases, wagon-http and wagon-http-lightweight will throw an exception instead of accepting it as if it was a 200 OK request.

For a real life example of this, see https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/issues/2093
