I know the developers have less invested in FCREPO-453 than I do (at
least in the immediate sense), but I would like to make an observation
related to it:  As it stands in 3.1, the ValidationUtility class has a
hard-coded rejection of file urls, and the DisseminationService class
fetches external content via it's own WebClient (rather than using the
ExternalContentManager).  These two quirks prevent (as far as I can
tell) an ExternalContentManager module from making non-http content
available as datastreams.

Would it be reasonable to split FCREPO-453 into 2 issues, so that the
changes allowing an ExternalContentManager module to use non-http urls
were separated from the actual implementation of such a module?

regards,
  Benjamin Armintor
