Puppet / PUP-7950 Allow specifying an MD5 URI for files with HTTP(s) sources Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/09/14 9:03 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Lee Lowder Because a simple "touch" command can change the ctime/mtime on files, and thus leading to false changes (which could then trigger service or exec refreshes). there should be a way to specify a URI that contains an MD5sum or other checksum value for files that use http or https based sources. Example: file { '/some/path/to/some_file.ext': source => 'http:://example.com/files/some_file.ext', checksum_source => 'http://example.com/files/some_file.ext.md5', } Add Comment

Re: Allow specifying an MD5 URI for files with HTTP(s) sources You can specify the checksum (type) and checksum_value, but there are issues being tracked in PUP-10368. It's unlikely we'll support a checksum_source that is on an HTTP server, as the checksum could be spoofed to match whatever the content is changed to. So I'm going to close this as won't do.
