Really live reloading #61

Open BigTows opened 4 months ago

User case: We utilize S3 storage to store our resource pack. This pack is loaded from our CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that any changes on the servers (such as Velocity) are ignored.

What if? ForcePack automatically check headers of the http request, for example: HEAD https://eu.amazonaws.com/textures/test.zip Response Header is: Name Value

The plugin can dynamically check these parameters and manage the update hash accordingly. I'm not referring to the /vforcepack reload command, as it can lead to a subpar user experience. (The user forcibly receives the resourcepack)

Instead, the plugin updates the hash automatically, ensuring that the player receives the updated resource pack during the next loading process. This streamlined approach enhances user experience by eliminating the need for manual intervention.

or support S3 api ;) But scheduled http request it's fine i guess.

I feel like just expanding the reload command is a better option than a scheduled task.

Some sites won't include those headers.

A HEAD request is lighter than a GET request.

  1. Configure the header for checking:
  2. In some cases, the plugin can send a GET request to verify, but it's not a good idea.
