@ -6,20 +6,17 @@ special remote.
Supporting something like this in git-remote-annex would be good.
While to the user this might be considered part of the web special remote,
it would really be a separate download code path in git-remote-annex that
downloads from the urls.
The httpalso special remote already exists to handle this kind of thing.
datalad-annex assumes that the url uses the exporttree=yes layout.
If git-annex did the same, it would look in "$url/.git/annex/objects/".
But it could instead try both that and the regular hash directories
and use whichever it found.
In fact, it just works with git-remote-annex!
How should the annex:: url look for this? It needs to contain the UUID of
the special remote (not the web special remote) because the MANIFEST key
includes the UUID. Perhaps "annex::https://example.com/?type=web&uuid=..."
or "annex::uuid?type=web&url=..." (in either case the inner url will need
to be URI-encoded)
Eg, this url on my laptop is a directory special remote
accessed via the web server:
What should be recorded in .git/config for such a remote? I suppose the
annex:: url and no annex-uuid. --[[Joey]]
annex::13c2500f-a302-4331-9720-6ec43cb8da2b?encryption=none&exporttree=yes&type=httpalso&url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~joey%2Ftmp%2Fd
But, while fetching from a httpalso special remote works, and cloning
works, after cloning, fetching again fails:
