Revision history [back]

Are you also using Robot Web Tools (ie: roslibjs, ros3djs etc), or just the JSON bridging functionality of rosbridge_suite?

I ask because in the Robot Web Tools URDF demo (here) loads meshes over HTTP from a web server. That seems like something you could mimic / copy.

Perhaps even write a Python node that looks at the robot_description parameter on the ROS PC, resolves the package://.. URIs to their location on the disk and then services HTTP GET requests for those resources.
