From lib/libfetch/http.c:
/*
* Store a file by HTTP
*/
FILE *
fetchPutHTTP(struct url *URL __unused, const char *flags __unused)
{
warnx("fetchPutHTTP(): not implemented");
return (NULL);
}
Adding HTTP PUT support to libfetch would be cool, but I doubt that it's
worth wasting GSoC time for that. Most people use curl for that just
because Google tells them to. On the other hand, SSH is available in
FreeBSD system in 99% of use cases, and it would be quite easy to setup
secure file transfer.
The final decision should however be made by TS.
