maps.nn curl_urls.txt

[astronouth7303]

To summarize an IRC discussion:
The current curl_urls.txt provided by maps.nn is useless to server admins. There are 2 use cases for this:

1. In a case like mine where the map config is heavily automated, the curl_urls.txt provides no information as to what maps that server has.
2. In cases where a server pulls maps from multiple mirrors, a curl_urls.txt with any wildcard is useless to them; they have to generate it from scratch.
   

The previous mirror I used, [url]http://hagger.rbi.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~polzer/nexuiz/maps/[/url] had a generated [url=http://hagger.rbi.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~polzer/nexuiz/maps/curl_urls.txt.cgi]curl_urls.txt[/url] which I found extremely useful.

How automated am I talking about? I have about [url=http://www.astro73.com/download/nexuiz/]8 scripts and 4 data files[/url] that go into my server config.

Okey dokey, I'm not back home yet... but by this weekend I will cater towards your needs.

Thanks for posting :).

See, this is the argument that I tried to make, but one of the devs in IRC said that the curl_urls.txt should just have the wildcards set because all of the maps are coming from the same location, and then any additional maps would appear below the wildcard. That didn't make much sense to me. It seems much more thorough to have all of the maps listed in the curl_urls.txt. *shrugs*

I have provided both solutions:

Wow, who made that list?

Those lists are dynamically generated with php based off the directory list.

ah, ok.
