TTPForge Actions: fetch_uri

The fetch_uri action can be used to download files via http to disk without the need to invoke a shell and use wget or curl. Check out the TTP below to see how it works:

https://github.com/facebookincubator/TTPForge/blob/a8cd35133e4100ed7b50ee14d51da78e19df9786/example-ttps/actions/fetchuri/basic.yaml#L1-L11

You can experiment with the above TTP by installing the examples TTP repository (skip this if ttpforge list repos shows that the examples repo is already installed):

ttpforge install repo https://github.com/facebookincubator/TTPForge --name examples

and then running the below command:

ttpforge run examples//actions/fetchuri/basic.yaml

Fields

You can specify the following YAML fields for the fetch_uri: action:

• fetch_uri: (type: string) the uri to the file you wish to download.
• location: (type: string) the path to save the file on disk.
• proxy: (type: string) the http proxy url to use for the request.
• overwrite: (type: bool) whether the file should be overwritten if it already exists.
• cleanup: you can set this to default in order to automatically cleanup the created file, or define a custom cleanup action.
