[kepler-dev] BinaryFileReader

[Dan Higgins]

Hi Efrat,
    I was looking into using your BinaryFileReader actor to read a 
binary URL (i.e. something like 
"http://www.nceas.uscb.edu/~higgins/garp/world.dxl"). Reading a remote 
http URL works fine with the PTII FileReader actor but it won't handle 
binary files. Are you aware of this?

    I am interested because I was looking into using a workflow to load 
additional data for kepler; e.g. GARP example data. If we could simply 
load binary files from http servers in a workflow, we might be able to 
make the kepler installer smaller and more robust.

Dan
