--------------------------------------------------------
[~michael-o] that's right. The first implementation (PoC that evolved into
small repository manager) was just based on reverse engineering and it works,
but it's also problematic to maintain. We don't really know how well we imitate
the protocol, sometimes we're discovering a new issues (e.g. required handling
of HEAD requests for some callers).
Now, we want to create full application and we are looking for any
specification. It's strange that one of the most popular tools does not provide
specification (or we can't find it). Honestly, even simple list with all
procedures and expected order of request would be great.

> Issue Type: Wish

> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: documentation

> There is a lot of guides and docs about "How to start" on
> [maven.apache.org|https://maven.apache.org/] with maven as developer who
> wants to use maven in a project, but I'm not able to find something for
> people working with repository managers. Is there any technical specification
> of maven http/protocol specification/rest api and what's required from a
> custom repository manager to serve requests properly or the only way is to
> search in maven/other repositories like nexus, artifcatory sources?
