resource_retriever Documentation

resource_retriever

This package retrieves data from url-format files such as http://, ftp://, package:// file://, etc., and loads the data into memory. The package:// url for ros packages is translated into a local file:// url. The resourse retriever was initially designed to load mesh files into memory, but it can be used for any type of data. The resource retriever is based on the the libcurl library.

resource_retriever is a package used for downloading files from a url. It also provides special handling of the package:// prefix, allowing things to be referenced by path relative to a package.
