Starting Points import from web?

[BNDrinks]

I think this is a feature request

Right now, I'm running a script on my server to generate a list of starting points, downloading it, and importing it before indexing.

It sure would be handy if I could point to a web-accessible CSV file (maybe even gzipped) instead of having to manually download it. That way I could automate its generation, and put my indexing on autopilot.

The Zoom configuration file contains the list of start points. The file is a Unicode text file. There is a document that describes the file in the SDK.

So instead of importing start points you could directly generate the config file from your script. This removes the import step.

To remove the download step either run your script on your local machine, or install the indexer on the server (if you have a Windows based server, that you control).

You could also use Incremental Add Start Points, and specify a file containing the new start points via the command line. See this page for more information.
