Update of my question:
1. Would a ftp-domain (not http(s) protocol) like
http://ftp.company.com
be acceptable for GWToolset?
is an http protocol url for a server named ftp. Did you mean
ftp://ftp.company.com ?
http://ftp.company.com is acceptable (Since it starts with http://),
but
ftp://ftp.company.com would not be.
In principle we might be able to add ftp support (It uses curl on the
backend which supports ftp, I think its just the validation code that
rejects ftp). We'd also need to make sure that the squid proxy
supports ftp, (Squid in principle supports ftp, but I have no idea if
its enabled in Wikimedia.
So basically, I'd suggest filing a bug. If anyone was actually
maintaining GWToolset it would probably get fixed. Given the current
situation, who knows.
2. If so, would a call with user/passwd be acceptable as an upload URL for
GWToolset? (Of course after whitelisting the domain.)
Type:
http://ftp.company.com?user=...&password=...&dir=TIFF/1&file=1_…
The syntax for username and password in urls is
ftp://username:password@ftp.company.com/TIFF/1/1_01.tiff
This is also true for http urls when using HTTP authentication.
Or would .... for instance the access time be too slow
for GWToolset
(depends of course) etc.
Timeouts would be the same as for http. Which are quite high, so it
would probably be fine on that count.
