Fairly sure the cURL layer supports it. I doubt ftplib does, though. Would the requirement be to implement support for both the cURL and ftplib cases? If just cURL is sufficient I would be willing to research the implementation of it. > > Adding the ability to use a module cache of zip files does not add any new > functionality for the user of the api or the end user of a frontend.

It seems implementing this in two parts would be best. 1) A feature in the API where a user of the API can hand a file handle in and the API will read the ZIP file and install it. 2) Detection and downloading of a ZIP file from remote sources if available. I've heard some discussion on the list of people desiring the ability to install from a ZIP file a la the ones on the website. So long as this is being implemented then why shouldn't it be implemented in such a way as to provide both pieces of functionality together? --Greg > > Having said this, I understand and sympathize with Nic's use case: > PocketSword accommodating for poor mobile network infrastructures. > > We agreed to provide this functionality as module repository optional cache, > similar to mods.d.tar.gz; everything works fine if not present; if the > requested module has a .zip bundle cache object, then use it, otherwise > download the individual files of the module, as we currently do. > > So, any takers? > > Troy > > > -- > Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
