Hi,

I asked stgraber for some information and he writes:

###
There's no need for a new tag in the json files, all "path" fields in
the spec have always been defined as "Relative path or URL".
###

Perhaps the clients have not yet implemented the URL case, but that is
where the logic should be. Additionally, there is an upcoming client
change to support http-only servers.

That should be enough to manually build the needed files and host on github.

Alternatively, simply use the system-image server code directly and
just publish the resulting www tree on github or anywhere else just as
some other community porters have succesfully done now (for the Nexus
5).

hth.
