** Description changed:
+ {Description]
+ Grub supports booting files over the network via both FTP/HTTP. However, the
Ubuntu package is not built with the grub HTTP modules. Enabling this would
allow grub to obtain files over HTTP (such as initrd/kernel).
+
+ [Rationale]
+ Enabling HTTP support for Grub would allow MAAS to use such functionality to
boot files over the network with HTTP. This allows for improvement performance
(vs using ftp) and for better security.
+
+ [Original bug report]
+
GRUB has builtin support for HTTP via http.mod. This module is not being
included in the prebuild grubnetx64.efi. All that should be required is
adding the http module. I also suggest building grubnetx64.efi using
GRUB modules to include lvm and RAID support this will allow
grubnetx64.efi to local boot in all situations.
