Support mirroring content simulating an RMT server

[srbarrios]

In order to support a tool custom made for Liberty Linux. We need to simulate the behaviour of a RMT server into out Minima Mirror.

In theory, we are already synchronizing the same channels, but there is some missing piece to make that work.

Let's research about it.

We don't necessarily need to simulate a RMT server. Being able to mirror it would be enough.

I suspect we will have to create a third kind of entries in minima configuration file, alongside scc: and http:

• ℹ️ We already mirror all the content as shared in the discussion, see:

http://minima-mirror-bv.mgr.prv.suse.net/repo/SUSE/Updates/ ---> SLL* folders

• It doesn't make sense to mirror content from a mirror, so it doesn't make sense a new section in our YAML file (RMT is already mirroring content, we can directly use the source origin of that content).

Example: http://minima-mirror-bv.mgr.prv.suse.net/repo/SUSE/Updates/SLL-CB/9/x86_64/update/

• ⚠️ What we don't support is the query string the HTTP request we are currently doing it includes

This part: ?credentials=SUSE_Liberty_Linux_x86_64

• 💡 My guess is that's the reason why the script was not parsing the content properly, but we need to research it:
