munki shoud be able to host the repository in others protocols such as: AFP, FTP or NFS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

munki should not be limited to the HTTP protocol only. The are others protocols 
the are very robust when it comes to file serving in comparison to HTTP. In a 
local network, AFP offers many advantages like multicast or FTP is another 
protocol that was designed for transferring files.

No development work will be done to add explicit support for any additional 
protocols.

Munki actually is protocol agnostic, but only two protocols meet its needs: 
http:// and file://.

If you have NFS automounts, you can use file:// URLs to access items via 
pathname.

For AFP, SMB, or FTP, you could write a preflight script that mounted your file 
share.
Munki then could use file:// URLs to access items from the file share.
A postflight script could then unmount the file share.

Per Greg's request for comment:

Nothing interesting to add here other than the fact that we've used file:// to 
access the munki repo via NFS automount for a couple of years now.  Fails over 
to http:// if this is inaccessible.

A suitable workaround has been presented.
