Issue #5783 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
It would be helpful to reuse the existing http client code `Puppet::Network::HttpPool.http_instance` so that the SSL context is setup correctly, http proxy settings applied, timeouts, etc. See also #8465 ---------------------------------------- Feature #5783: support HTTP(S) URL as the file 'source' https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5783 Author: Daniel Pittman Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: fileserving Target version: Affected Puppet version: development Keywords: Branch: Lots and lots of folks want to be able to do this: file { "/tmp/example.txt": source => 'http://example.com/example.txt' } This would be good to support; obviously the metadata for the HTTP URI is much less available than via puppet file serving, but this would make a lot of people very, very happy. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
