I try to use the Mave-Wagon plugin to download a file via HTTP-GET:
<extensions>
<extension>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-http</artifactId>
</extension>
</extensions>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>download-zip</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>download-single</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<url>http://server.com/Download/</url>
<fromFile>FileDownload.aspx?param=asdf&param2=1234</fromFile>
<toDir>${project.build.directory}</toDir>
<toFile>targetfilename.zip</toFile>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The problem is the ? in the target filename as the toFile
is applied only after the download happened.
When I download the URL via a normal browser, the browser gives me also a "clean" and nice file name. Is this HTTP-Header ignored by Wagon-HTTP?
Is there any way to pass the parameters to the URL or make Maven to use another/cleaned file name?
For completeness, the whole exception is
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Illegal Syntax in filename (sorry this is an translation)

The Wagon plugin exposes the Wagon API, and the Wagon API is not a general purpose remote file system access API. It's intended only to push content in and out of Maven repositories, not arbitrary files to arbitrary places. I'd recommend using the maven-antrun-plugin and ssh as in this example.
