This is a tool to generate prefetch statements for downloads in BigFix ActionScript.
Suppose you want to create a prefetch statement to download this picture of Hodor.
The easiest way to do this is to run make-prefetch.py on the URL:
$ make-prefetch.py http://i.imgur.com/YAUeUOG.jpg
That will output a prefetch statement to download the picture:
prefetch YAUeUOG.jpg sha1:ce842e0af799f2ba476511c8fbfdc3bf89612dd0 size:57656 http://i.imgur.com/YAUeUOG.jpg sha256:74f69205a016a3896290eae03627e15e8dfeba812a631b5e0afca140722a322b
However, the file will be downloaded as YAUeUOG.jpg on the client. To instead
download it as hodor.jpg, you can use the --name argument:
$ make-prefetch.py --name hodor.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YAUeUOG.jpg
This will output the same prefetch statement as before, but it will be
downloaded as hodor.jpg on the client.
prefetch hodor.jpg sha1:ce842e0af799f2ba476511c8fbfdc3bf89612dd0 size:57656 http://i.imgur.com/YAUeUOG.jpg sha256:74f69205a016a3896290eae03627e15e8dfeba812a631b5e0afca140722a322b
Suppose you have already downloaded this picture of Hodor and you want to create a prefetch statement for it.
To do this, run make-prefetch.py on the file to generate a prefetch statement:
$ make-prefetch.py hodor.jpg
This will output a prefetch statement with http://REPLACEME as the URL:
prefetch hodor.jpg sha1:ce842e0af799f2ba476511c8fbfdc3bf89612dd0 size:57656 http://REPLACEME sha256:74f69205a016a3896290eae03627e15e8dfeba812a631b5e0afca140722a322b
To specify the URL to download the file from, you can use the --url argument:
$ make-prefetch.py hodor.jpg --url http://example.com/winterfell/hodor.jpg
This will output the same prefetch statement as before, but the URL will be
http://example.com/winterfell/hodor.jpg.
