One of the things we want to do, long term, is work out how to ship modules with core Puppet in a way that is awesome, but that still allows the advantages of the forge to rule. One day, I dream it will be so! Until then, this is awesome, and lots of people will be really happy about this. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7474: puppet web resource type / provider https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7474#change-56314 Author: Mo Morsi Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: newfeature Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: puppet, web, resource, provider, type Branch: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-dev/browse_thread/thread/b163ae7f6b96965e As part of the aeolus project (http://aeolusproject.org) we provide a puppet recipe to install and configure the different components that make up the framework. Several of our components primarily provide web interfaces which to configure the components and to create data, and previously we were manually 'exec'ing the curl command to invoke those requests. The problem with this is that its tricky to both verify the HTTP response code as well as parse / verify the contents of the response, so to assist with this we wrote a generic web resource type and provider (based on libcurl) to perform the actual operation. There is nothing aeolus-specific as part of this resource / provider, so I'm sharing it here with the hopes of getting some feedback and possibly for inclusion in the upstream project. The patch itself can be found here: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=aeolus/configure.git;a=commitdiff;h=24765b6d92496f6127a903c1c59e3eaf578f30a9 http://mo.morsi.org/blog/node/336 Thoughts? Any way this could be included as part of puppet? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
