code-breaker

Are you a developer or moderator? What's with your attitude? Take a deep breath and relax.

For you. For you. This is an open source project. I added some info that I don't have time to implement, but I thought that someone else might think is a possibly interesting feature. If you don't agree, then don't implement it. But how is adding your opinion on the priority of this or that feature helping anyone? Again, this is open source. If someone wants to work on a feature that they find interesting or useful, they will. If its not particularly useful to you, well, no harm no foul. That's how open source works. Ease up, man. Relax.

I wasn't trying to say that I couldn't get the download to work. I was simply saying that an efficient way to get version number in the case of download scripts is as the software author suggested, using a HEAD request. I noticed the relatively recent ability to do a POST, and thought it might be useful.

Zindus, an addon for Mozilla Thunderbird. Here's the download link: http://www.zindus.com/download/addon?p=tb&rt=prod

I contacted an author about making the program version more easily accessible on one of his webpages, because he uses a php download script. He suggested using an http HEAD request on the download link, which returns, among other things, the filename including the version number in the Content-Disposition header. In fact, in a lot of ways this is an ideal way to do this. It would work great, but ketarin would need to be able to do HEAD requests.
