Mike Beckerle resolved DAFFODIL-602.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Abandoned
Closing. Not needed. Daffodil uses many libraries. Guaranteeing none of those
attempt an outbound connection is not possible.
Environments that run Daffodil must ensure that nothing can connect outbound.
> Setting to prevent off-box (network, external) access to schemas

> Key: DAFFODIL-602
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-602
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: API, Front End
> Affects Versions: s8
> Reporter: Mike Beckerle
> Priority: Major
>
> For many DFDL applications this is a must-have capability.
> Systems whose job is to scrutinize data carefully must have a controlled base
> of DFDL schemas that are well trusted.
> Reaching out the internet to get schemas is definitely unacceptable for these
> applications.
> As for how to test this.... keep in mind that just disconnecting a test box
> from the internet won't do it. A test might not fail just because a probe for
> a schema on the internet failed. It might behave in some different manner if
> it is unable to successfully reach the internet, yet still be making the
> attempts. The requirement here is that it not even be attempting to contact
> the internet to get schemas.
