Attempting to use the service: [https://mymavenrepo.com](https://mymavenrepo.com) fails because they are using SNI for the repository root: [https://repo.mymavenrepo.com](https://repo.mymavenrepo.com)

It would appear that updating the Apache HttpClient to a version newer than 4.3.2 should work (per ticket [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1119](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1119))

Note that uploading to the repository works because it appears that the Maven mechanism for uploading is different.

The error stack shows Ivy as the client, even though I indicated in the build script that maven was the repository type. I suppose this could be some sort of compatibility offered by the Ivy libraries, but it would be nice if there was a way to force maven as the mechanism implementation.
