Rob Elliot commented on MSITE-601:
----------------------------------
Followed this link from issue MSITE-654. The discussion about valid URIs is a
red herring; yes https://USERNAME:[email protected]/p/MYPROJECT.site/./
is a valid URI, but that doesn't mean it points to the same resource as
https://USERNAME:[email protected]/p/MYPROJECT.site . Specifically, the
second (correct) one is effectively a URI to a file, whereas the one ending in
/./ is a URI to a directory. If as far as Google are concerned the Mercurial
repo is a file (and Github have the same opinion about their git repositories)
then the second URI quite rightly returns a 404.
It's the same as trying to run the following set of commands:
{code:none}
echo "some text" > afile.txt
cat afile.txt
cat afile.txt/
cat afile.txt/./
{code}
The first cat will work, the latter two will not because they are paths to a
directory and afile.txt is not a directory. You can't just randomly append a
slash to a URI and expect it to have the same meaning as the URI without the
slash. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't and both possibilities are valid.

> Key: MSITE-601
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-601
> Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: site:deploy
> Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-3
> Environment: Javac 7 on Fedora Linux 15, Mercurial 1.9
> Reporter: Leon Blakey
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: backlog
>
>
> I deploy my Maven site over Mercurial on Google Code. I use this configuration
> {code:xml}<distributionManagement>
> <!--Site deploy repository-->
> <site>
> <id>MYPROJECT.googlecode.com</id>
> <url>scm:hg:https://code.google.com/p/MYPROJECT.site/</url>
> </site>
> </distributionManagement>{code}
> And a standard <server> in settings.xml
> {code:xml}<servers>
> <server>
> <id>MYPROJECT.googlecode.com</id>
> <username>USERNAME</username>
> <password>PASSWORD</password>
> </server>
> </servers>{code}
> However when running site:deploy it decides that it should add a dot to the
> URL, meaning it tries to execute this command
> EXECUTING: /bin/sh -c cd /tmp && hg clone -r tip
> https://USERNAME:[email protected]/p/MYPROJECT.site//.
> /tmp/wagon-scm1348091978.checkout
> Which on Google and other repositories gives a 404 since the file . (look at
> the end of the URL) doesn't exist. Why is that period there? Is it coming
> from Maven Site or the Mercurial plugin (I'm assuming here)? Can it get
> removed>
