This caused quite a lot of confusion here - if an Ivy repository is defined using the code below, a CommonsHttpClientBackedRepository is created. This does not support version ranges.

Perhaps instead using the ivy closure should result in a UrlResolver being created instead.

Doesn't support version ranges:

	repositories {
		ivy {
			name = ".."
			artifactPattern "http://..."
		}		
	}

Does support version ranges, but the syntax is ugly:

	repositories {
		add(new org.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.URLResolver()) {
		        name = 'repo'
		        addArtifactPattern "http://..."	
		}
	}
