We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Documentation

maestrodev/wget — version 1.4.1 Apr 1st 2014

A Puppet module to download files with wget, supporting authentication.

Example

install wget:

       include wget

       wget::fetch { "download Google's index":
       source      => 'http://www.google.com/index.html',
       destination => '/tmp/index.html',
       timeout     => 0,
       verbose     => false,
    }

or alternatively: 

     wget::fetch { 'http://www.google.com/index.html':
       destination => '/tmp/index.html',
       timeout     => 0,
       verbose     => false,
     }

This fetches a document which requires authentication:

     wget::fetch { 'Fetch secret PDF':
        source      => 'https://confidential.example.com/secret.pdf',
        destination => '/tmp/secret.pdf',
        user        => 'user',
        password    => 'p$ssw0rd',
        timeout     => 0,
        verbose     => false,
     }

This caches the downloaded file in an intermediate directory to avoid repeatedly downloading it. This uses the timestamping (-N) and prefix (-P) wget options to only re-download if the source file has been updated.

     wget::fetch { 'https://tool.com/downloads/tool-1.0.tgz':
        destination => '/tmp/tool-1.0.tgz',
        cache_dir   => '/var/cache/wget',
     }

It's assumed that the cached file will be named after the source's URL basename but this assumption can be broken if wget follows some redirects. In this case you must inform the correct filename in the cache like this:

     wget::fetch { 'https://tool.com/downloads/tool-latest.tgz':
        destination => '/tmp/tool-1.0.tgz',
        cache_dir   => '/var/cache/wget',
        cache_file  => 'tool-1.1.tgz',
     }

Testing

rake will run the rspec-puppet specs

rake spec:system will run the rspec-system specs with vagrant

RS_DESTROY=no rake spec:system to avoid destroying the vm after running the tests
