Just do what other tests do: embed all the required data into the test: be it a PE executable, TIFF/GIF/PNG/etc image, or even a RIFF/AVI file. That way the tests don't depend on any external files, or abilities in the tested environment to download them.
It seems a bit complicated for a test I will run only once and not intended to be part of the test suite.
You could use a self extracting exe.
Why not if I can make it run the test after the extraction. That said why not improving test bot download extra files? Is there a specific reason for that?
I'm not against improving the testbot, it was just a suggestion.
It's a good one.I will file a bug in bugzilla for the test bot and try your suggestion. Do you know any simple tool that enables to do that?
7-zip, look into its -sfx option.
