QA (public) » openQA Project (public)

Motivation¶

After #175902 a simple wget 'http://…/assets/….qcow2' is no longer possible to download certain assets from OSD. While one can specify the credentials manually this is a bit tedious. Using openqa-cli api --apibase '' https://…/assets/….qcow2 > ….qcow2 is possible but might use a lot of ram (does it?) and also a bit cumbersome to use (especially as one has to specify the asset name twice).

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: openqa-cli allows downloading assets
• AC2: openqa-cli determines the file name automatically
• AC3: Asset downloads via openqa-cli work out of the box even when authentication is required as long as client.conf contains the required API key/secret
• AC4: Even when downloading big files the memory usage is not high

Suggestions¶

• Look into similar implementations for the open build service CLI osc
• Make this new sub-command for downloading assets and adds additional arguments for authentication.
• As applicable consider making that an upstream feature of underlying modules, e.g. mojolicious
