Hello, if there was a plan to divide bitbake into a server and a client part, I would suggest to add a kind of "fetching proxy" functionality or run mode to the bitbake sever part.
The reason behind this suggestion is: If you sitting behind a restrictive proxy/firewall and want to use yocto (OE) you always get problems to load from git:// svn:// or cvn:// URLs. Here it may be useful to be able to run a bb fetch proxy outside of the firewall that tunnels the protocols by https or ssh (via (ssl)port 443 like github does for git), or acts as a flexible download server, do the fetching part and providing the download archives to an other server through a common usable protocol tunnel. May be this was a special issue, but it may ease the use of yocto (OE) extremely.
