[chef] Re: A question about chef-splunk cookbook

[Tensibai Zhaoying < >]

I don't know for the slunk cookbook itself (didn't use it) but assuming it 
takes advantage of remote_file resource I'm sure yes as my sole contribution 
to chef was on the file:// url code and I did test for this kind of path for 
Unix and Windows ;)

T.l.;d.r Should be yes but may work with a UNC path 
file://server/share/file.rpm too if the share is browsable as anonymous 
(everyone read permission in share and NTFS acl)
