Regardless, the depot server isn't designed for this sort of usage.
Long term, the plan is to have the publication tools work with a
standard Apache server, so my answer would be "use Apache". It already
has authentication mechanisms and does what you want. That's a far
better answer I think than trying to invent something new.
I see.
So how would this work then, with apache?
At the moment, users could create pkg archives using pkgrecv and upload
them to the Apache server.
From what I recall, the AI client should be able to retrieve and use
package archives.
The "pkg send" commands are to a "http://"; URL that in turn do a POST?
Right now, yes. But long term the goal is to have the client do all of
the publication work and then simply PUT the results. Not only should
that be faster, but it will work in cases like the one you've suggested.
