Puppet users - Jan 2013 - puppet module install; absolute path?

I work on the Pulp Project (http://www.pulpproject.org/), and we are trying 
to fully implement the forge API so we can create new repositories that can 
be reached via a command like:

$ sudo puppet module install --module_repository 
http://localhost/pulp/puppet/myforge/ someone/theirmodule

The problem I''ve encountered is that the install command includes 
hard-coded absolute paths to the API instead of relative paths. For 
example, see line 54 here:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/4d06c647/lib/puppet/forge.rb#L54

Would this be received well as a bug report, or is there a reason for 
having absolute paths? We would love to see this behavior improved so that 
multiple forges could run on the same web server. Otherwise, we''ll have
to
implement our own module installation routine that doesn''t take
advantage
of the "puppet module install" tool.

Also, will the upcoming new API be accessed with relative URLs from the 
command line tool?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the work you''re doing. I got to play with Pulp v2 last night
and
really like the progress you guys have made. A few more comments are
in-line.

This particular end-point won''t likely change as we''ll be
supporting
existing versions of the PMT for a long time. However, we are working on a
new API that will be publicly accessible and is likely to have a different
structure than the one you see now.

I''ll follow-up with you off-list about how we can help you get your
work
done in the interim and we''d love to discuss API design there.
Hopefully
we''ll have more to discuss with a wider audience soon, but
we''re currently
building a slew of publishing improvements for you and haven''t gotten
to
finalizing an API.
