This feature adds the ability to specify specific URLs (file://, http://, https://, ftp://, etc) to reference or download specific binaries for both
protoc
itself and any binary-based plugins.This is not usually recommended, and is less secure than the other mechanisms, but is being added to allow the use of plugins that may only be distributed on sources such as GitHub, or on remote servers. It also allows users to reference a specific binary locally without adding it to the system path first, should this be needed.
