[chef] Re: Re: Using remote_file resource within Chef 12 for pulling remote files from shared location to client side.

Thanks Tiago,

But the subject of the biggest interest is "bla bla" within header.

How and in what manner to set up password and user name if http response will need it.

By the way, http_request you mentioned... Can it be used in order to save data on client side instead of just running package?

The main goal is to download something fro either S3 or remote location and put into some exact place within windows client. 

Like to c:\ drive some folder. I have not found like destinatin path on client side for downloaded package.

Thank you a lot in advance for your replies and efforts in assisting me in this question.

Regards,

Taras.

Taras,

Here an example working with Chef 12:

header = "blablabla"

current = "https://s3.amazonaws.com/package.rpm"

http_request "get_package" do

  headers({"Referer" => "#{header}"})

  url "#{current}"

end

Hi guys,

Can you please provide me with the example on how to use headers attribute
within remote_file Chef recipe?

Here what I have and it doesn't seem to work:

remote_file "c:\test_chef.txt" do
source "file:////prodstore/Shares/Engineering/test_chef.txt"
headers({"Cookies" => "user=kasjdhfak; pass=sdkjhf" })
end

What I basically need is to make chef-client (windows platform) to pull data
from Windows shared repository. In order to not save all data on Chef server.

Issue I met is that windows shared repo uses authentication and I need ability
to provide user/pass for getting anything from that source.

If you happene to know how to pull files using Chef resources from Amazon S3
storage as well it would be nice if you vould share that knowledge as well.

Thank you a lot in advance.
Much appreciated.

Regards,
Taras.
