[EHPweb] PDL sender configuration

[Jeremy M Fee]

Hi Pete,

The configuration file is an INI style configuration file.  The global  
property "senders" is a comma delimited list of INI section names to  
load as Product Senders.  What is inside those sections is the same.   
The key is that the name listed in the senders property matches a  
section name later in the INI file.  So, what I emailed and what you  
already have configured are equivalent:

A senders list like:
	senders = ehppdl1, ehppdl2
Expects 2 sections later in the INI file:
	[ehppdl1]
	[ehppdl2]

A senders list like:
	senders = sender_ehppdl1, sender_ehppdl2
Expects 2 sections later in the INI file:
	[sender_ehppdl1]
	[sender_ehppdl2]

http://ehppdl1.cr.usgs.gov/userguide/configuration.html


The main problem is that now a configuration file is required to send  
products, and most senders aren't using the --configFile= argument to  
specify which configuration file to load.


Does that answer you question?
