Currently, if you upload an ISO to OnApp CP, it will blindly assume it is always a .iso file.

 

It would be better if it recognized some extensions automatically or at least allowed one to specify what file type is being linked / uploaded - such as .gz for gzip, or even .zip or .7z or any other sort of compressed format the CP might be able to process properly.

 

Relates to Support ticket #323128

  How about using 'file' or similar to check the actual file format.  If it's a known format, like gzipped ISO, then deal with it.  If it's an unknown format then throw an error.  At the moment if the upload URL points to a compressed ISO (as is often the case with 3rd party images like pfSense) you just end up with a file called 'xxxxxxxx.iso' that isn't actually an iso and will never boot.
