Libreflow request session

This session periodically requests file revisions according to request rules. A rule provides a set of target files, and an OID pattern: each revision matching this pattern will be requested for download towards the specified sites.

Usage

Assuming the module libreflow.extensions.file_manager.synchronisation is accessible in the PYTHONPATH, the automatic request session can be run as follows:

python -m request_session LIBREFLOW_SESSION_OPTIONS REQUEST_OPTIONS

where LIBREFLOW_SESSION_OPTIONS are arguments of a standard libreflow session (see Libreflow README), and REQUEST_OPTIONS are the following:

-p, --project <name>           Name of the project.
-d, --delay <time>             Delay between two batch requests.
    --lifetime-limit <time>    Exclude revisions newer than this lifetime.

The session processes the rules defined in the request_rules under the project settings. Each rule associates a revision oid pattern with a list of target sites.
