3.8 quality score

We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Documentation

KimNorgaard/httpfile — version 0.1.9 Jul 20th 2015

KimNorgaard-httpfile

Transfer files via HTTP(S).

Uses various methods to verify the checksum before actually fetching the file.

Basic Usage

    httpfile { '/path/to/file.ext':
      source                    => 'http://example.com/my_file.bin',
    }

By default, the Content-MD5 header is used to compare checksums. For apache, this can be achieved by setting the 'ContentDigest' directive to 'On'.

If you prefer to use sidecar files (i.e. .md5 or .sha1) placed on the server, you can do that by setting the checksum_type parameter.
