Using HTTP/FTP Download Support (Server)
You can enable redirected downloads on your server even if it's not
an ioquake3 server. You simply need to use the 'sets' command to put
the sv_dlURL cvar into your SERVERINFO string and ensure sv_allowDownloads
is set to 1
sv_dlURL is the base of the URL that contains your custom .pk3 files
the client will append both fs_game and the filename to the end of
this value. For example, if you have sv_dlURL set to
"http://icculus.org/quake3", fs_game is "baseq3", and the client is
missing "test.pk3", it will attempt to download from the URL
"http://icculus.org/quake3/baseq3/test.pk3"
sv_allowDownload's value is now a bitmask made up of the following
flags:
1 - ENABLE
2 - do not use HTTP/FTP downloads
4 - do not use UDP downloads
8 - do not ask the client to disconnect when using HTTP/FTP
Server operators who are concerned about potential "leeching" from their
HTTP servers from other ioquake3 servers can make use of the HTTP_REFERER
that ioquake3 sets which is "ioQ3://{SERVER_IP}:{SERVER_PORT}". For,
example, Apache's mod_rewrite can restrict access based on HTTP_REFERER.
Using HTTP/FTP Download Support (Client)
Simply setting cl_allowDownload to 1 will enable HTTP/FTP downloads
assuming ioquake3 was compiled with USE_CURL=1 (the default).
like sv_allowDownload, cl_allowDownload also uses a bitmask value
supporting the following flags:
1 - ENABLE
2 - do not use HTTP/FTP downloads
4 - do not use UDP downloads
When ioquake3 is built with USE_CURL_DLOPEN=1 (default on some platforms),
it will use the value of the cvar cl_cURLLib as the filename of the cURL
library to dynamically load.
