Fwd: [PATCH] treewide: use CDN for downloads

[Paul Spooren]

Hi all,

I think this is a nice patch as it speeds up the package manager on
devices and releases load on our infrastructure.

Additionally we could add a link in the Wiki pointing to the CDN rather
than the origin server.

As this is a "deep" change of infrastucture (usage), I wanted to checkin
with the adm list.

Best,
Paul

Use CDN for opkg repositories.

Tested with browser and opkg running on router.
HTTP works only for specific user-agents and `ipk` files, this is a
*limitation* (or security precaution) of the origin server not
influenced by the CDN.
