[vtk-developers] vtk test data for remote module?

[Aron Helser]

Jc,
The remote module is built as part of VTK, so it is already using
vtkExternalData. Looking at those lines you referenced:

> # Data published by Girder
> "https://data.kitware.com/api/v1/file/hashsum/%(algo)/%(hash)/download"
> # Data published by developers using git-gitlab-push.
> "https://www.vtk.org/files/ExternalData/%(algo)/%(hash)"

That means I can provide the files at that URL at data.kitware.com?  How do
I do that?
