ocket8888 opened a new issue #4436: ORT uses non-standard API route /ort/{{host
name}}/packages
URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/issues/4436
## I'm submitting a ...
- improvement request (usability, performance, tech debt, etc.)
## Traffic Control components affected ...
- CDN-in-a-Box (because of ORT.py)
- Traffic Ops ORT (and also the Python version used by CDN-in-a-Box)
## Current behavior:
To fetch the packages necessary for install on cache servers, ORT calls the
`/ort/{{host name}}/packages` endpoint, which is not grounded in an API version
nor documented anywhere, nor handled in Go.
## Expected / new behavior:
ORT should use only real, documented, supported, versioned, API endpoints.
I'm not personally very particular how that's done, though I prefer the
bottom-most option (unrealistic though that may be).
• The call could be forwarded to ATSTCCFG which could be updated to support
generating the output from standard API calls
• ORT itself could be changed to request the necessary information from the
standard API
• The endpoint could be rewritten in Go and added to the 2.0 API.
• The ability to install packages could be removed from ORT entirely, and be
left to the orchestration or administration system of choice for the
organization managing the server - which probably does it better anyway.
## Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions:
Run ORT, observe the call to an unsupported, non-standard API
