Add support for 'file' URLs in the management agent
---------------------------------------------------
Key: ACE-162
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-162
Project: Ace
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Marcel Offermans
Under normal circumstances, the management agent uses a URL it obtained via the
Discovery service to communicate with the server (where the URL is the base for
a series or REST based calls). If the URL uses the 'file' protocol, we try to
map these requests to the local filesystem:
Deployments map to a folder structure that is constructed as follows:
DISCOVERY_URL/deployment/TARGET_ID/versions should be an existing folder,
containing files that are deployment packages and that are named after their
versions (with no extension), so '1.0.0', '2.0.0', etc. The deployment package
metadata must match the folder structure as well.
Synchronizing the local audit log(s) to the server is not supported, as it
would make little sense.
Subscribing to new distributions is not supported either, since that does not
make sense without a real server.
