isoinfo using URLs

[Johnson, Richard]

Hi All--

I like to proposing extending isoinfo and friends to support URL references to the ISO.

One use case is eliminating the need mount local ISO  when configuring PXE for a network install
 - isoinfo -R -J -u <iso-url> -x /casper/vmlinuz  > .../vmlinuz
 - isoinfo -R -J -u <iso-url> -x /casper/initrd > .../initrd

1.  Would this be of interest to anyone else?
2.  Would someone be available to help with preparing a request for inclusion in future Debian/Ubuntu releases?

I have a working proof-of-concept, if that helps.

Thanks,
