Allow articles to be sourced via HTTP #24

Closed guyht closed 11 years ago

guyht commented 11 years ago

I would like to allow blog articles to be sourced over HTTP as well as via the existing GIT method. This will allow Glog to be deployed to certain PAAS could services (e.g. Heroku, Appfog) which do not allow the user to execute arbitrary commands.

The proposal is to use a simple http.get request and the file would need to be 'untarable'. This should work quite nicely with GitHub which exposes repositories as tarballs.

Closing this as using git over https solves the problem
