Proxy for artifact URLs read by bccontainerhelper. You can run this on your own environment with the docker image tobiasfenster/bcaup or you can use the publicly available Azure Function https://bca-url-proxy.azurewebsites.net/bca-url/ e.g. like this: https://bca-url-proxy.azurewebsites.net/bca-url/sandbox/de/19
| Get-BCArtifactUrl | Url |
|---|---|
Get-BCArtifactUrl -type Sandbox |
https://bca-url-proxy.azurewebsites.net/bca-url/sandbox |
Get-BCArtifactUrl -select NextMajor -accept_insiderEula |
https://bca-url-proxy.azurewebsites.net/bca-url?select=nextmajor&accept_insiderEula |
When a call comes in, it first checks a cache to find out if that artifact URLs has previously been requested. If a valid entry is found, the URL from the cache is returned. If no valid entry is found, Get-BcArtifactUrl is called with the supplied parameters and the resulting URL is either returned as redirect or as text content the DoNotRedirect=true parameter is append to the url.
By default, only cache entries that are less than 1 hour old are returned. To extend this duration, add the cacheExpiration parameter to the URL. For instance, use https://bca-url-proxy.azurewebsites.net/bca-url/sandbox/de?cacheExpiration=86400 to retrieve cache entries up to 24 hours old. The minimum value allowed is 900, which corresponds to 15 minutes.
