git-annex can use the web as a special remote, associating an url with an
|
|
annexed file, and downloading the file content from the web.
|
|
See [[tips/using_the_web_as_a_special_remote]] for usage examples.
|
|
|
|
The web special remote is always enabled, without any manual setup being
|
|
needed. Its name is "web".
|
|
|
|
This special remote can only be used for downloading content,
|
|
not uploading content, or removing content from the web.
|
|
|
|
This special remote uses urls on the web as the source for content.
|
|
There are several other ways http can be used to download annexed objects,
|
|
including a git remote accessible by http, S3 with a `publicurl` configured,
|
|
and the [[httpalso]] special remote.
|
|
|
|
## configuration
|
|
|
|
These parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` or
|
|
`git-annex enableremote` to configure a web remote:
|
|
|
|
* `urlinclude` - Only use urls that match the specified glob.
|
|
For example, `urlinclude="https://s3.amazonaws.com/*"`
|
|
Note: Globs are matched case-insensitively.
|
|
* `urlexclude` - Don't use urls that match the specified glob.
|
|
For example, to prohibit http urls, but allow https,
|
|
use `urlexclude="http:*"`
|
|
Note: Globs are matched case-insensitively.
