destination file's permission can't be edited

[sebinjohn]

I am facing an issue to give permission to the destination file when the cache dir is set, because the the resource is already defined in the wget::fetch module. So the workaround is to set the destination to a temporary location and create a new resource by sourcing it to from the temporary location.

file { $destination:
  ensure  => file,
  source  => "${cache_dir}/${cache}",
  owner   => $execuser,
  require => Exec["wget-${name}"],
}

this is the code from the wget::fetch module.

It would be nice to allow setting owner/group/mode directly from wget call.

Fixed in #44

vote for reopen.

if i want to prevent the access from other user (mode 0400), this don't really fix the problem, it just moves it. with this fix i have to to ensure, that the cache location is in a directory where no other user can access the file. so /tmp or /var/tmp or /var/cache won't work.

the solution from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/118670/changing-default-permissions-for-wget is to call umask before wget, maybe this is also here a solution.

my workaround was to create a directory with the right permission, which i use as cache directory but sadly this workaround don't work for me, because i only want to download the file once and not redownload if the remote file chances. but there is no creates parameter which i can use. see #26
