We would absolutely take patches for this. Ultimately, the hard part isn't the HTTP side - as Josh notes, we already have some good setup stuff for HTTP, and Ruby makes getting content that way pretty easy. The hard part is actually integrating this into the file type, making decisions about how to deal with "has this changed", and that sort of thing. So, absolutely, if you have answered some of those questions and want to contribute code, or notes on how to map the Puppet and HTTP semantics, that would be awesome. ---------------------------------------- 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.
