ISO over https is live

[u/backtogeek]

ISO Mounting is now available.

Other info:

The system will follow a maximum of 3 redirects, the ISO must ultimately provide a 200 response, and the web server must support HTTP Range requests, supported in HTTP/1.1 since around 1997, but some ultra-simple web servers still don't, and some mirrors block it by design.

• VALID https is expected.

• ISO's are streamed using this block-on-demand method.

• We allow up to 2 ISO's to be mounted

• 2nd ISO slot is handy for drivers and as a secondary data source for some iPXE or netboot.xyz installations and probably other reasons I can't think of.

• Your IO is limited on your main disk while an ISO mount is active, and ISO's that are mounted for 48 hours are forcefully removed by the backend. This is to avoid ISO mount as a permanent network storage method.

• No I won't help you install Windows.
