DIRECTORY Output processing lack of clarification

[BorisYourich]

The standard doesn't clarify how should the outputs of type DIRECTORY be processed, whether output specified as DIRECTORY should be recursively uploaded file by file, or whether outputs can be treated and/or specified as ARCHIVE or similar to make the default choice for the TES server to tar the directory and curl the archive to the specified url , I am working on an implementation of the TES Server, tesp-api.

[kellrott]

It should be a recursive copy of the files. If the user wants to create an archive, they can append an executor to the end of list of steps to call a program to create the archive. Then that archive file would be uploaded as an output.
We'll work on adding text to clarify the specification.
