 Description   

Following the instructions from here:
https://code.google.com/p/gradle-macappbundle/wiki/Intro

It fails to download the dependencies, because the HEAD request from googlecode.com comes back with a 404, but the actual artifact comes back with a 200 OK.

This issue can be worked around by URLResolver like this:

new org.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.URLResolver() {
    protected ResolvedResource findResourceUsingPattern(ModuleRevisionId mrid, String pattern, Artifact artifact, ResourceMDParser rmdparser, Date date) {
        // work around http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=660
        URLHandlerRegistry.getDefault().requestMethod = URLHandler.REQUEST_METHOD_GET
        try {
            super.findResourceUsingPattern(mrid, pattern, artifact, rmdparser, date)
        } finally {
            URLHandlerRegistry.getDefault().requestMethod = URLHandler.REQUEST_METHOD_HEAD
        }
    }
}

Although to avoid having everyone go through the same pain over and over again, I created a small plugin to allow easy repository setup for googlecode/github/sourceforge/nuget:
https://github.com/gluck/gradle-repositories-plugin

(FYI NuGet doesn't implement HEAD as well, and returns '501 Not Implemented')

Please confirm that you still advocate for your JIRA issue before December 10th, 2016 by:

  • Checking that your issues contain requisite context, impact, behaviors, and examples as described in our published guidelines.
  • Leave a comment on the JIRA issue or open a new GitHub issue confirming that the above is complete.

We look forward to collaborating with you more closely on GitHub. Thank you for your contribution to Gradle!
