Firstly, downloads default to HTTPS. Not a bad default, but I can't cache those downloads with a web proxy. That's fixable with an SBT flag.

If I request a file form Bintray, I get a 302 redirect with no expiry header, which means (I think) means it can't be cached.

The problem is, that 302 redirects to a different Akamai URL every time. So what should be the same JAR is resolving to many different URLs.

HTTPS is the only reasonable thing to do. Absent PGP signature checking, using HTTP would be reckless.

I agree, though HTTP over a trusted LAN would be fine, if it proxies to an HTTPS request externally.

Why can’t you cache https? Also, 304 is cheap (unchanged)

I didn't explain properly. ;) I'm trying to cache downloads for a conference full of people all trying to `sbt update` at the same time...
