I have added an interface called
FileRetriever
that for now specifies a single methodvoid retrieve(String url, Path destination)
.I have created two different classes that implement this interface.
HttpRetriever
which downloads a file from an HTTP server andArchiveRetriever
which does the same thing but unpacks the tar/zip to thedestination
(which would have to be a directory).I had to patch the
Path
library with some additional functionality to implement theArchiveRetriever
, but in the future I hope to inline that logic into theArchiveRetriever
.
