OK, that means that #350 "Add support for using file proxy" is nice to
have soon ticket, but it isn't hard requirement for 0.7 or for
mediakit_sanity. Just write the test to download that ISO image. If we
implement the ticket soon, the download will be cached, otherwise it
won't be cached. Doesn't matter as long as we have just one test
working with that image.
Thoughts?
I just realized that ISO download caching is useful even when we have just a single test
using it. It is useful for development, when you need to run the test over and over again
with the same input data (ISO). From some reason it didn't cross my mind before.
I'll try to have a look at the proxy ticket once I finish my current work.
