Here is a recent discussion with sosreport upstream (Bryn Reeves) :
11:20 < caribou> [14:20:22] question : what's the use to keep ftp_upload_url in
sos.conf ? No code seems to be using it
11:20 < caribou> [14:22:57] bmr: I'm being asked for a similar functionality :
sosreport being able to upload itself somewhere
11:20 < bmr> [18:07:36] caribou, it's on the TODELETE list
11:20 < bmr> [18:09:02] caribou, tbh I am not keen to see upload capabilities
re-introduced; they are very hard to get right (portably) in python
11:20 < bmr> [18:09:29] caribou, e.g. ftp upload via python ftp module cannot
support proxies (which users ask for every other week when you have basic ftp
upload support..)
11:20 < bmr> [18:09:49] caribou, at Red Hat we took the decision that that
problem is better handled in integration layers above sos than in the tool
itself
11:20 < bmr> [18:10:12] caribou, e.g. things like RHEV integrate it into their
UI and for command line users we have a thing called redhat-support-tool
11:20 < bmr> [18:10:40] caribou, file an issue if you want to explore this
further but I will take quite a lot of convincing (unless it's something
ultra-basic and generic :-)
