The front-end is fine, its the Windows Installer that is really just horrible.<BR/><BR/>Firewalls and routers and the like aren't as hard to work with as you might think. We just send a test message to the server on our preferred port, if it doesn't get a reply we send on another port. Now its not very smart to send on all 65535 ports, so we use just a few. The last one we try is port 80 which most people have open. This though can lead to stateful packet inspection filters being triggered and blocking our traffic, because its not http protocol we are sending.<BR/><BR/>Its my experience firewalls and routers are gonna be a problem no matter what you use, but if you write your updated own you will have much greater control over how large a problem that is.The Mayorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485510723527598102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8551195664475776491.post-66564828351517154822007-06-25T00:16:00.000-07:002007-06-25T00:16:00.000-07:00Hi!have you found a open-source updater or do you ...Hi!<BR/><BR/>have you found a open-source updater or do you write your own? I've searched through the web and haven't found a good updater for my opensource-project...<BR/><BR/>writing a simple updateengine should be a no-brainer, but something which is working with proxys, firewalls and the stuff is a little bit more challenging.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745700460984450626noreply@blogger.com
