In this example, the descriptor references only one file:
<File ovf:href="disk0.vmdk" ovf:id="file1" ovf:size="1950489088"/>
The href attribute of the File element is the path to the file relative to the location of the descriptor itself. To
retrieve this file from the server, the client must make a GET request to a URL that it constructs with a simple
two‐step algorithm:
1 Start with the URL that was contained in the download:default attribute of the Link to the descriptor
that was contained by template. (See Example
2 Replace the final component of that URL with the value of the href attribute of the File in the
downloaded OVF descriptor.
The result of this process, using the responses in Example 4‐11 and Example
in Example 4‐13.
Example 4-13. Downloading a Referenced File
Request:
GET http://vcloud.example.com/transfer/..../disk0.vmdk
Response:
200 OK
...
...serialized contents of file disk0.vmdk...
EOF
When the download completes, the vApp template is available on the client as an OVF package.
N Make sure that the downloaded files maintain the same relationship to each other in the local file
OTE
system as they had on the transfer server file system. In this case, the descriptor and disk0.vmdk were both
in the same directory (the default arrangement).
