Preemptive authentication in KIE Scanner ---------------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-724 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-724 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Components: kie server Affects Versions: 6.1.0.Final Reporter: Rares Vernica Assignee: Mario Fusco The pre-emptive authentication setting from Maven's settings.xml is not picked up by Drools: <server> <id>guvnor-m2-repo</id> <username>...</username> <password>...</password> <configuration> <httpConfiguration> <usePreemptive>true</usePreemptive> </httpConfiguration> </configuration> </server> I am not sure if the bug is in Drools or Wagon. To fix it, I made the pre-emptive always true, but adding: ... if ( "http".equals( roleHint ) || "https".equals( roleHint ) ) { HttpMethodConfiguration httpMethodConfiguration = new HttpMethodConfiguration(); httpMethodConfiguration.setUsePreemptive( true ); HttpConfiguration httpConfiguration = new HttpConfiguration(); httpConfiguration.setAll( httpMethodConfiguration ); HttpWagon httpWagon = new HttpWagon(); httpWagon.setHttpConfiguration( httpConfiguration ); return httpWagon; } ... in Aether$ManualWagonProvider. This obviously is not a good solution.
