`X_VCPKG_ASSET_SOURCES` to `x-azurl,https://mydomain.com/vcpkg/,token=abc123,readwrite` your server should respond to
`GET` and `PUT` requests of the form `https://mydomain.com/vcpkg/<sha512>?token=abc123`.
You can also use the filesystem (e.g. a network drive) via `file://` as asset cache. For example you then set
`X_VCPKG_ASSET_SOURCES` to `x-azurl,file:///Z:/vcpkg/assetcache/,,readwrite` when you have a network folder mounted at
`Z:/`.
The workflow of this asset source is:
1. Attemp to read from the mirror
2. (If step 1 failed) Read from the original url
3. (If step 2 succeeded) Write back to the mirror
You can enable/disable steps 1 and 3 via the [`<rw>`](#valid-source-strings) specifier and you can disable step 2 via
`x-block-origin` below.
