Description

We have a Maven proxy server (using Proximity) that requires authentication. Users store their username and passwords in settings.xml. If the login information is incorrect, they are not informed the the problem is due to bad credentials, just that the dependencies are missing. -e and -X don't add anything useful.

This is true for both dependencies and plugins.

Hi, is there any update or a schedule? We have the same problem with Nexus, but i think its a Maven problem and its a major lack for us.
If you sniff the stream, you will see the correct error message

GET /nexus/content/groups/public/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1.jar HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Pragma: no-cache
User-Agent: Java/1.6.0_13
Host: ****:8081
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, ; q=.2, */; q=.2
Connection: keep-alive

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: BASIC realm="Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager"
Content-Length: 0
Server: Jetty(6.1.11)

Thanks for your help

For Maven 2.x, this was already fixed as per MNG-3794. Fixed in r929299 for 3.x now.
