Hi to all!
Looking at this idea which is interesting funcionality for RAT ( and it is 
not difficult for implementation)
I was thinking about this:
I think that it will be possible to made a version of RAT which will be 
hosted like web application.
The user will upload archive of his source code to this web application and 
RAT will automatically start checking source code according
the options which will be available on front end of this site.
The result will,after that, be sent as email to user.

This site could be used as a demo for RAT capabilities and can provide
useful and interesting way of using RAT.
Also, this will provide better performance for "copy&paste detector" RAT's funcionality ( we would have better performance in communication with google 
code search
engine )
It will be useful for this web application to have capability mentioned 
previously by Craig.
As we know, Google App Engine from recently supports one more language-Java. I think that it will not be difficult to made RAT to work on current Google 
App Engine infrastructure.
GWT framework could be used for site.
This is just a thinking not only about RAT as a tool, but also about RAT as 
a service.
What do you think about this?
I think it would be cool to have a service defined where you could just send the URL of a release artifact directory to the service and have RAT do its thing.
We could host this on the Apache site. Once a release artifact was prepared, the release manager would just send the artifact URL to the RAT service and wait for the green light.
It could even vote on the release! Well, maybe not go quite that far. ;-)

Best regards!

Does rat have the ability to list the contents of a url directory,
download and check the artifacts' signatures and md5 sums, then unzip/ untar the artifacts and do its usual license checking on the results? 

No, it doesn't.

You can skip the unzip/untar step since RAT can work on compressed
archives (see the Ant task for examples) but it will probably run
faster if you unpack the archive first.
