puppet-download_file

Small define that will allow you to download a file, on Windows, for usage during an installation. This was created so that we didn't have to store large binaries (DotNet4.0 etc.) in our modules.

Usage

download_file { "Download dotnet 4.0" :
    url                   => 'http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe',
    destination_directory => 'c:\temp'
}

This can now be used in other modules that need to install applications. All you would need to do is to have a require (as used with puppet-dotnet, by Liam Bennett) e.g.

download_file { "Download dotnet 4.0" :
  url                   => 'http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe',
  destination_directory => 'c:\temp'
}

exec { 'install-dotnet-4':
  command   => "c:\\temp\\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart",
  provider  => powershell,
  logoutput => true,
  unless    => "if ((Get-Item -LiteralPath \'${dotnet::params::f_reg_key}\' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).GetValue(\'DisplayVersion\')) { exit 0 }",
  require   => Download_file['Download dotnet 4.0']
}

You can use this module and specify a proxy to download the file. It's usage would then be as follows:

download_file { "Download dotnet 4.0" :
  url                   => 'http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe',
  destination_directory => 'c:\temp',
  proxyAddress          => 'http://myproxy.com:port',
}

exec { 'install-dotnet-4':
  command   => "c:\\temp\\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart",
  provider  => powershell,
  logoutput => true,
  unless    => "if ((Get-Item -LiteralPath \'${dotnet::params::f_reg_key}\' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).GetValue(\'DisplayVersion\')) { exit 0 }",
  require   => Download_file['Download dotnet 4.0']
}

The proxy will be used as part of the download using PowerShell. This does not set a system wide proxy
