[jbosstools-dev] Anonymous Downloads for Alpha release, JBT, and Stacks

[Rob Stryker]

OK David:

So after discussion with Max, having the stacks.yaml say 
requiresCredentials=true when it doesn't, just to work around the 
existing workflow,  is wrong and we shouldn't do that.

Is there any chance we can get the JDF url on download manager to do the 
following?

1) Check if the requested file is set to Anonymous Download
2) If yes,
     a) Check if it looks like we're coming from a browser (either by 
checking user agent or response flags)
     b) if yes, do the website stuff, else
     c) just return the file as if it was a normal wget

Basically, what we're requesting is that a wget 
http://www.jboss.org/download-manager/jdf/file/jboss-eap-6.4.0.Alpha.zip 
just downloads the file if it looks like we're not a browser.
