Description

The clone tool allows folks to copy the contents of various types of logs into a local MySQL database.

The tool supports various "personality" APIs for interacting with these source logs, but currently does not support logs which are served using either the tlog-tiles or ct-static-api specs.

Adding support for these to the clone tool would allow folks to that tool for the newer generation of tile-based logs.

Research direction

Start in the clone tool directory and review its existing personality APIs and MySQL persistence path. Read the tlog-tiles and ct-static-api specifications first, then compare their endpoints and responses with the supported personalities. Done means the clone tool can copy logs served by both specifications into the local database.
