Thanks Ethan when you say that the manifest must be a http url, does it accept:
http://123.123.123.66 or does it require http://host66 since at the time it uses it there is no name service available. From what I was seeing at the command line when the AI image was booted, pkg set-publisher would not accept http://123.123.123.66:3333, but would accept http://host66:3333 as long as it could resolve the hostname. Also, what is the format for the manifest, or is there one I can copy and modify from somewhere? Is there a location on the AI image I can find it?
