I was previously running Nexus 1.8 on OSX and uploading jars for releases without any issues. The OSX box died, so I moved to a FreeBSD server. Since Nexus doesn’t have binaries for FreeBSD, I decided to run it in my Tomcat container.
Now, I have set up Nexus 1.9 in Tomcat 7.0 on FreeBSD. Everything is working well, except I can’t upload jars to my release or snapshot repositories. If I try via Hudson, I get a 401 error (and no further details). If I try manually via curl, I get an error message back from Tomcat: “This request requires HTTP authentication.”.
Why is Tomcat giving this error, and how do I stop it? If I look in the Nexus logs I can see that the PUT request doesn’t even reach Nexus, Tomcat is intercepting it.
Answer
It might be because you’ve enabled the BIO connectior instead of the non blocking NIO connector in Tomcat?
