> Allow artifact providers that work with URLs instead of Files
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-8421
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8421
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Feature Model
> Affects Versions: Feature Model IO 1.0.2, Feature Model Launcher 1.0.2
> Reporter: Karl Pauls
> Assignee: Karl Pauls
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Feature Model IO 1.0.4, Feature Model Launcher 1.0.4
>
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The way we set-up the feature io (and subsequently, the way the launcher
> currently uses it) there is a build-in assumption that artifacts are
> available as local files. While that makes some sense there are scenarios
> where it would be more efficient to not require them to be Files unless it is
> really needed. We should make it possible for a provider to hand out URLs
> instead of Files and prefer to use those URLs where possible as a File can be
> easily accessed via a URL but the reverse is not true without locally
> buffering the URL content as a File.
