build.gradle build.log Tested on 2.0 and 2.1-20140707220025 with an existing URL that worked on 1.12.
Thanks for the report, raised as GRADLE-3128.
We’ll endeavour to get this fixed for 2.1.
Hey, this should be fixed now in master. Can you give the latest nightly build (http://www.gradle.org/nightly) a try and confirm the fix?
cheers, René
