[wpkg-users] wpkg over a webserver

[Justin Brinegar]

Hello,

Is it possible to direct the wpkg-client to use a web server as a store 
for wpkg.js and related files rather than a Samba server?

I'd like to run Apache to store the executables that wpkg will 
reference, as well as the wpkg.js and related configuration files.  This 
is not in reference to the web interface: I would like to cut Samba out 
of the picture if possible.  Naturally, I would want to use SSL and 
appropriate .htaccess files on directories to be used by wpkg.

If this is not currently possible, the same end result that I am trying 
to achieve may be performed with VPN software, but I would rather not 
make things overly complicated.  Owners of laptops in my domain tend to 
leave laptops at home for long periods of time, and SMB packets are 
blocked at the campus gateway.  Putting wpkg's store on the web seems to 
be the simplest solution to me.  Can I add this as a feature request?

Thanks for any thoughts.
Justin
