What are your plan here for Snoms? As you already know Snom use option 
dhcp 66 and 67.
Updating the Snom plug-in I found this as a partial limit in what I'd 
like to do.
Option 66 is a URL but it cannot contain a path
Option 67 is the settings file name but CAN contain a path
To make it clearer:
Snom will work with this:
66: http://example.org:8090
67: /phone/profile/docroot/{mac}.xml

but won't work with the following options:
66: http://example.org:8090/phone/profile/docroot/
67: {mac}.xml

Why would I ever want it in the last way? For a very simple reason. I 
found Snom v7 firmware will look for some default settings file in the 
url provided in option 66. It usually look for a specific model file and 
then for it's own {mac}.xml without specifying it. It will search for 
http://example.org:8090/{model}.xml but won't work if option 66 is 
http://example.org:8090/phone/profile/docroot/.

In other words I could make Snoms self provisioning using only option 66 
if it does contain just a root path http://example.org:8090. So I'm 
proposing the http service used for provisioning to present generated 
file in the http root without the need of the /phone/profile/docroot/ path.

Well FTP and TFTP are probably not suggested for many deployments but I 
would not really like they're eventually phased out. I would prefer to 
have some sort of settings in sipxconfig where I can choose what type of 
provisioning should be enabled or not. Of course HTTPs could be default 
choice, but I'd like to change it to TFTP or HTTP for small deployments.

What I'm proposing is: unify http and tftp directory in a unique 
provisioning directory and add four configurable switch in sipxconfig to 
enable/disable tftp, ftp, http, https provisioning of the same unique 
directory. More services could be enabled at the same time. This could 
provide as well an easy way to tell users where (URLs) the files are 
provisioned if one of those is enabled. This would give a lot of 
flexibility to the administrator. Snoms actually supports all the above 
protocols for provisioning.

This could eventually solve an issue I found while patching for XX-5861. 
File upload does not actually support deployments in http directory. Or 
at least is not as simple as it is for phones.
