Direct URL

Sometimes plugins aren't hosted on a supported repository, or you want to use a specific build from a CI server. You can specify a direct download link.

Usage

Use the url: prefix followed by the full HTTP(S) link to the .jar file.

environment:
  PLUGINS: |
    url:https://cidomain.com/job/Plugin/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/Plugin-1.0.jar

Filename Resolution

The orchestrator determines the local filename in the following order:

1. Content-Disposition Header: If the server responds with a Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="plugin.jar" header, this name is used.
2. URL Path: If no header is present, the last segment of the URL path is used.

Caching

URLs are cached based on:

• ETag: If the server provides an ETag, it is stored in the .plugin-lock.json.
• Last-Modified: If the server provides a modification date, it is used to check for updates.

If neither is provided, the plugin may be re-downloaded more frequently to ensure it is up-to-date.
