NAME

Slaughter::Transport::http - HTTP transport class.

SYNOPSIS

This transport copes with fetching files and policies from a remote server using HTTP or HTTPS as a transport.

DESCRIPTION

This transport is slightly different to the others, as each file is fetched on-demand, with no local filesystem access and no caching.

If HTTP Basic-Auth is required the appropriate details should be passed to slaughter with the "--username" & "--password" flags.
