yes, this is the main reason why >= 0.25.0 will use REST over XMLRPC, which requires to escape all the data of files into an xml format. The current rule of thumb is to not deploy larger files with puppet < 0.25.0 . :( > [...] > > So what does everyone think? Is a HTTP source for files feasable? as far as I understood with REST this all would be possible and Luke explicitly mentioned that it would even be possible to natively serve files by apache (for example), so no ruby stack overhead at all. However I didn't yet see any example which do that, nor how to setup. But it's definately already the idea, if you don't even find a ticket for that. Maybe try out 0.25.0 beta 2 to see if it works better, it definitely should and according to reports it does! cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
