Download and include arbitrary GTFS files #3

Open stupidpupil opened 2 years ago

How to rename these consistently to match expected structure.

How to handle caching. (Essentially HTTP caching? Etag etc.)

Purpose is to support services that aren't defined in ATOC/BODS/TNDS datasets.

This is trickier if the 'GTFS' files aren't actually valid vanilla GTFS - e.g. they're GTFS-flex or similar. In this case, they probably can't be merged, but still need to be treated as 'active'.

There might need to be a more thoughtful approach to 'deactivating' GTFS files.

One option for the "activated" GTFS issue might be to look at the metadata file for the merged GTFS and exclude any GTFS files that it's derived from.
