Issue

• Is there a way to deploy a file that is available via an HTTP url ?  In JBoss 4.x there was the netboot option, that is no longer available in EAP 5.

• Deployment of an application using the http protocol fails with the following error./twiddle.sh -s jnp://localhost:1099 -u admin -p admin invoke  "jboss.system:service=MainDeployer"  deploy http://localhost:80/counter.war
