Issue #5783 has been updated by Ian Ward.
What about something like zsync? http://zsync.moria.org.uk/paper/index.html It looks like it requires no special configuration of the HTTP server, but has need of a .zsync file on the server. Ubuntu apparently provides/provided this as method to update installation files: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/zsync.1.html http://lifehacker.com/5393555/use-zsync-to-upgrade-an-ubuntu-installation-image The end user would just need to run zsyncmake on the files when they're changed (or have their revision control system do it for them in a post-commit hook). ---------------------------------------- Feature #5783: support HTTP(S) URL as the file 'source' https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5783#change-99623 * Author: Daniel Pittman * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * 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.
