Need help configuring preemptive authentication of the mavenDeployer for upload to Artifactory

[Thomas Carlier]

Hello:

Can someone help me figure out how to configure the mavenDeployer to use
preemptive authentication for uploading large release files to the
Artifactory? The Artifactory maximum files size is set to 0 (for unlimited
size), and uploading large 'snapshot' files is working. Uploading release
files smaller than 100 MB is working as well, but does attempt
non-authenticated upload before doing a successful authenticated upload.
When the 'release' file size is larger than 100 MB, both upload attempts
are non-authentcated and the upload fails.

Here is the Artifactory request log file output when uploading a 95 MB
release file:

20120904095914|3|REQUEST|x.x.x.x|non_authenticated_user|PUT|/local/com/tlc/build/6.9.0-b2/build-6.9.0-b2.zip|HTTP/1.1|401|44780077
20120904095925|2079|REQUEST|x.x.x.x|build_user|PUT|/local/com/tlc/build/6.9.0-b2/build-6.9.0-b2.zip|HTTP/1.1|201|44780077

When the upload file is changed to 130 MB, this is the output:

20120904101054|7|REQUEST|x.x.x.x|non_authenticated_user|PUT|/local/com/tlc/build/6.9.0-b3/build-6.9.0-b3.zip|HTTP/1.1|401|143066145
20120904101124|6|REQUEST|x.x.x.x|non_authenticated_user|PUT|/local/com/tlc/build/6.9.0-b3/build-6.9.0-b3.zip|HTTP/1.1|401|143066145

... and for a 130 MB 'snapshot' file:

20120904105806|8|REQUEST|x.x.x.x|non_authenticated_user|GET|/libs-new-local/com/tlc/build/6.9.0-b4-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml|HTTP/1.1|401|0
20120904105806|177|REQUEST|x.x.x.x|build_user|GET|/local/com/tlc/build/6.9.0-b4-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml|HTTP/1.1|404|0
20120904105813|3751|REQUEST|x.x.x.x|build_user|PUT|/local/com/tlc/build/6.9.0-b4-SNAPSHOT/build-6.9.0-b4-20120904.175806-1.zip|HTTP/1.1|201|143066145

The most puzzling thing about this is why the file size would cause the
client's authentication to change. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
