    Description

      Nexus 3 does not auto-block on receiving 401 responses from the remote of a proxy repository.  Instead, it keeps checking the remote for every inbound request.

       This is not consistent with Nexus 2.x, which does auto-block for 401 responses.  See NEXUS-6515.

      Failure to auto-block on receiving 401 can cause major performance problems, and also has the disadvantage that a user is not alerted to the fact that a proxy repository is not working.  It is true that there are cases where you would not want to auto-block on 401, but those are rare, and can be handled by disabling auto-block in the repository's configuration.

      Note: The reproduce case for the above is to create a proxy of https://maven.oracle.com and enter invalid credentials into the authentication settings for it.
