Description

Enhancement Type

Improve an existing feature

Describe the enhancement

It would be great if all features that support downloading from a URL or container path, e.g. WORLD, OPS_FILE, WHITELIST_FILE, ICON, etc. supported getting the respective files from a (private) S3 or bucket or other compatible object storage. An easy workaround is proxying via nginx-s3-gateway or similar, but builtin support seems more straightforward.

Thanks for considering!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing download utility functions (e.g., for WORLD, OPS FILE) and determine how to add support for S3 compatible object storage, including authentication and error handling.
