Currently xrdcp --cksum into fndcadoor DCache is not working INC000001183287 ; while the DCache folks think they
can fix that, it led me to try switching a local-disk dropbox Declad to transferring files with gfal-copy.
This led to two problems:
1) when it builds a ${dest} value from host and path, it currently always makes a root://host/path URL
2) when it checks remote file sizes it calls the xrootd-scanner code, thus requiring an xrootd host:port
So I'm wokring on a change for this to:
1) allow you to specify a transfer_protocol (defaulting to 'root' for backwards compat) for that ${dest} URL
2) Calling gfal-stat instead of the xrdfs stat if you've specifed 'htttps' in your tranfer_protocol
Which on initial testing seems to work...
