I am trying to automate the installation of apps (as part of automating the whole splunk server creation), and since there is the nice ./splunk install app <file/link> command, I was hoping I could just use
./splunk install app http://splunkbase.splunk.com/apps:startdownload/PDF+Report+Server+-+install+on+Linux+only/1.3/pdfserver.tar.gz
or even better
./splunk install app pdfserver where I would just refer to a unique global app name (in the spirit of apt/yum)
but neither works - the download link probably only works in a browser (curl also chokes on it, giving an error that JavaScript is required).
Is there any way to make this work that I missed (aside from downloading the app manually and putting it on my server and pointing the automation/CLI to that file)?
