Hello all,
does anybody know if it is possible to use GetComponents to check out (really only download) a thorn from a "dump" transport channel such as http right now?
Eg. if there is a thorn that needs to be accessible in a temporary location and right now it is not in a svn repository (or similar).
I tried the "http" transport but that really seems to work only for individual files (one can make it kind-of work with careful choices of wget parameters inside of GetComponents but plain vanilla GetComponents/trunk seems to not support it).
"ftp" might work, though I am hard pressed to find an ftp server that one could press into service :-)
Any thoughts anyone?
Yours, Roland

I recall that wget has options to mirror a web site. This may do the trick. (You probably referred to this when you said "careful choice of wget options".)

GetComponent only really handles single files using plain http(s)/ftp. However, it shouldn't be hard to add a 'tar -xJf' or similar for compressed files. So far just nobody really had the need. I don't think that recursive gets via wget are a good way to get an entire thorn. It takes much too long, it generates higher load on the server, and most likely also uses more bandwidth than a single, compressed tarball.
