Description
The XRootD client exports a flexible asynchronous plugin interface that allows the client to manage protocols beyond the core xroot.
This talk will review the plugins managed by the Pelican project. While the core pelican:// protocol will remain internal to the project, it is layered on top of a basic HTTPS plugin that has no dependencies beyond libcurl. The same libcurl plugin also is the basis for a s3:// protocol backend, powering connectivity between the XRootD client (or the caching file proxy) and S3-compatible endpoints.
