Proxying of xml files from one archiva server to another fails, when jar files succeed

This is what i did,

1) Downloaded archiva 1.3.1 standalone, and unzipped it into two directories called local and remote.

2) Edited the jetty.xml file of the remote directory install to use port 9090

3) Started both archivas

4) On archiva in remote dir (9090) added a remote repository thru the gui that had this information:

Identifier: proxy
Name: Proxy of Local
URL: http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/internal/
UserName: as defined
Password: as defined
Timeout in Seconds: 60
Type: Maven 2.x repository

5) On archiva in remote dir (9090) added a proxy connector thru the gui that had this information:

Network Proxy: (direct connection)
Managed Repository: internal
Remote Repository: proxy
(all other settings defaulted)

6) On archiva in local dir (8080) uploaded an artifact thru the gui that had this information:

Group Id: com.mebigfatguy
Artifact Id: fb-contrib
Version: 4.6.0
Packaging: jar
Classifier: (blank)
Generate Maven 2 POM: checked
Artifact file: fb-contrib.jar
Repository Id: internal

and submitted it.

7) Next brought up firefox and entered url for the archiva in the remote dir (9090)

http://localhost:9090/archiva/repository/internal/com/mebigfatguy/fb-contrib/4.6.0/fb-contrib-4.6.0.xml <http://localhost:9090/archiva/repository/internal/com/mebigfatguy/fb-contrib/4.6.0/fb-contrib-4.6.0.xml>

and file is successfully downloaded

8) On archiva in local dir (8080) uploaded an artifact thru the gui that had this information:

Group Id: com.mebigfatguy
Artifact Id: build
Version: 4.6.0
Packaging: xml
Classifier: (blank)
Generate Maven 2 POM: checked
Artifact file: build.xml
Repository Id: internal

and submitted it.

9) Next brought up firefox and entered url for the archiva in the local dir (8080)

http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/internal/com/mebigfatguy/build/4.6.0/build-4.6.0.xml <http://localhost:9090/archiva/repository/internal/com/mebigfatguy/fb-contrib/4.6.0/fb-contrib-4.6.0.xml>

and the file is successfully downloaded

10) Next brought up firefox and entered url for the archiva in the remote dir (9090)

http://localhost:9090/archiva/repository/internal/com/mebigfatguy/build/4.6.0/build-4.6.0.xml <http://localhost:9090/archiva/repository/internal/com/mebigfatguy/fb-contrib/4.6.0/fb-contrib-4.6.0.xml>
