    Description

    Coordination meeting for common projects of CernVM-FS and XRootD.

    Hide
    • Discussed progress of XrdClHttp plugin development
    • A full integration test suite should be added to XrdClHttp:
      • Transfer large files (Wei has had hangs when transferring large files)
      • Check support for HTTPS
      • Try metalinks with multiple HTTP sources, HTTP + XRoot sources
      • Run the tests with simple HTTP or HTTP+WebDAV servers?
    • To check: if no port number is specified for a HTTP URL, will XrdClHttp default to port 1094?
    • Bundle the Davix sources inside the XrdClHttp repository
    • Andy: a current limitation in the PSS config is that the origin is either HTTP or XRoot
    • Main use case to be addressed should be xrdcp, where the source and/or destination is an HTTP location. An arbitrary directory tree should be copied.
    • The goal is to make the new plugins (XrdClHttp and CCM) available in XRootD 4.9
      • The "xrdhttppss" branch should be merged at the end of Aug - the new CCM API needs to be validated with a plugin prototype

    Next meeting: Tuesday, Sept 18th, 17:30 CET
