--------------------------------
Summary: New OFSN product handler to support generation of list of
download URLs associated with an OFSN
Key: OODT-456
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-456
Project: OODT
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: grid, product server
Affects Versions: 0.3
Reporter: Rishi Verma
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.4
OODT Grid, through the help of various OFSN product-handlers like
StdOFSNGetHandler [1], enables the download of products located on a particular
host. Recursive product listing handlers [2] furthermore, support the discovery
of products located within a particular OFSN on the product server.
Users within the climate change community have described a need to quickly
download (n) number of products located under a particular OFSN without having
to individually download each product. To address this need, I propose
developing a new OFSN product handler combining features of [1] and [2] to
specifically generate a list of URLs that can be used to download products
easily. Tools, like wget, can easily use a file containing a list of URLa to
actually download the products automatically.
To make this idea more generic, I will suggest that the return-type for URLs
generated by this handler, be configurable. Thus, it may be possible, for
example, to get the MD5 checksum for (n) number of products as easily as it
would be to actually download the products themselves using this new
product-handler.
