           Summary: summon could stand to have some sanity checking
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: 1.12.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Summon
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: jblosser-smgl AT firinn.org


In the last few weeks I've run into the following:

- summon on a tarball at an http URL gets back an HTML page
- summon on a tarball gets back a 0 byte file

In both cases summon decided it was done, even though these weren't the files 
we
were after.  It would be nice if summon could detect this kind of temporary
failure at a mirror and continue on to the next mirror or fallback.  Both of 
the
above could be avoided by 1) checking that the file retrieved is at least not 0
bytes and 2) if the expected file type is known, verifying that the file
retrieved is the correct file type.

I don't know if this is worth doing or not; I doubt we want to go much farther
than this since it would probably end with making summon do the md5/gpg/etc.
checks after download, and that sounds excessive.
