RFE: Accept file:// for URI for RAGDocument #3463
Description
🚀 Describe the new functionality needed
Hi llama-stack team, I built an application with a portal and a backend which processes PDFs, either via a URL or a file upload to the server.
The URL component works with a RAGDocument type, but when I try to pass it a file:// uri, I get an error:
route='/v1/tool-runtime/rag-tool/insert' method='post': Request URL is missing an 'http://' or 'https://' protocol.
This is a fairly common use case for teams doing document ingestion.
💡 Why is this needed? What if we don't build it?
This is needed because I now have 2 different methods for PDF ingestion - one by llama-stack and one hand-rolled method by me, which will result in differences in my vector database. It increases the scope and capability of what llama-stack can accomplish.
If you don't build it, people will need a workaround for something you largely have the capabilities for already.
