SteveThanks for the reply. I have been successful to connect to external or redirected locations to pull in content and XML so that Fedora is aware and can even manage the remote content. I was looking for a way to ingest through Fedora to those same external or redirected targets as well.. Is that DuraCloud? If so looking forward to its release. We've had success building a storage cloud of many different types of storage arrays that are RESTful or respond to the http protocol, so getting external or redirect to work with Fedora was great and fairly straight forward, good work :). Please see the following link for information regarding our Storage Cloud concept http://www.snia.org/tech_activities/publicreview . The same REST framework we have sitting on top of these various storage arrays translates to the XAM protocol when executing the REST verbs during the write of datastreams to disk. And like wise when I retrieve, I am able to pull XAM created and assigned metadata into Fedora.
We're publishing our final report and was hoping to show the full functionality of Fedora utilizing our cloud storage solution, but being able to federate external or redirected content is certainly a big step in the right direction. Again, thanks for your help

Hi Ben I think what you are asking is if there's a way for Fedora to manage content for external/redirect datastreams. The rationale for these types of datastreams is that the content is managed externally, so the simple answer is no - if you need to manage the content through Fedora then managed datastreams might be more appropriate? Of course you can retrieve the external content location (URL) from Fedora, and if you happen to know that the external service managing this content supports a particular protocol for updating the resource then you could build this into your application.

I'm able to retrieve from my external reference location, but how do I reverse this retrieval process into an ingest process to that same target?Thanks
