[jsword-devel] HttpURLConnection - HttpClient

[DM Smith]

I’ll look into using the ftp:// protocol of the URL. If it provides the same functionality (e.g. recurisive download of a folder and its contents) and uses the FTP service (i.e. logs into the FTP logs) it will be acceptable for FTP.

Troy would like FTP to be our primary d/l mechansim as it is for SWORD. He has no problems with us grabbing the zip, but he sees the zip as a cache with no guarantee of presence.That is the cache is populated manually by a user doing a download of the zip over HTTP. If a cache is a miss then fall back to recursive folder download. I’ve got a working example of FTP module download, but haven’t melded it into JSword.
