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

Hi Rob,
using the /jdf links is the right way to do on your side. However I do not understand the
requiresCredentials issue is. Is it a problem on your side or does the service return you
something unexcpected? If so, have you checked you saved the changes?

Subject: Anonymous Downloads for Alpha release, JBT, and Stacks
Hey all:
I've made a comment over on https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18709
investigating the issue of anonymous downloads as it pertains to alpha
releases, stacks, and JBT as a group.
It'd be good if those addressed directly above (david, rafael) had a
look just so that everyone's aware of the issues of adding any Alpha
release to JBoss Stacks.
The tl;dr of it is: if we do add alpha releases to stacks, we must
still use the jdf URL, and we must still set requiresCredentials=true,
even though it's not accurate. Otherwise we risk breaking older releases
of JBT.
Any questions or comments are welcome and encouraged on the jira issue
directly.
Thanks in advance.
