Metakernel with multiple remote in their header
Since December 2021, Bepi metakernels now have multiple remote links in their header:
This file is used by the SPICE system as follows: programs that make use
of this kernel must "load" the kernel normally during program
initialization. Loading the kernel associates the data items with
their names in a data structure called the "kernel pool". The SPICELIB
routine FURNSH loads a kernel into the pool.
The kernels listed below can be obtained from the ESA SPICE Web server:
https://spiftp.esac.esa.int/data/SPICE/BEPICOLOMBO/kernels/
or from the ESA SPICE FTP server:
ftp://spiftp.esac.esa.int/data/SPICE/BEPICOLOMBO/kernels/
This rises an ValueError
when these metakernels need to download the missing kernels:
ValueError: Multiple remote URL found: ['https://spiftp.esac.esa.int/data/SPICE/BEPICOLOMBO/kernels/', 'ftp://spiftp.esac.esa.int/data/SPICE/BEPICOLOMBO/kernels/']
This behavior was observed in the docs build recently.
Possible solution:
- Remove the
ValueError
check for multiple remote - Use a priority system, eg.
HTTPS > HTTP > FTP
- Discard
FTP
as a valid remote source
This change is likely to be re-observed in the next JUICE public release and need to be addressed before it appends.
