Re: [Artifactory-users] artifactory as a redirecting proxy

[Yoav L. <yla...@gm...>]

Sounds like a nice feature. Self-centric dependencies that contain their own
repositories outside a profile definition are always a problem.

Artifactory's focus is on acting as a fully managed cache/proxy, so instead
of providing a solution by simply redirecting directly to an alternative
URL, one should be able to configure it to go to a predefined repository
alias. That would be a good addition.
Do you mind opening a JIRA request?

I might have missed the last point, but Artifactory already supports going
through an authenticating proxy on behalf of users (including NTLM proxies).
