DESCRIPTION

Downloads files onto the local machine during the configuration, and optionally post-processes the files.

The download is achieved by invoking curl, so any URLs acceptable to curl (and LWP::UserAgent) (including local file:// URLs) are allowed.

A file is only downloaded if following conditions are met:

• The timestamp of the source can be retrieved
• The timestamp of the source is more recent than the current file (if such file exists); unless the allow_older attribute is set.
• The remote timestamp is not too recent.
