Update to use variable in website field (require 1.6) and correct version detection.

Thank you Will you document this property / is there other properties like this ?

So .. I'm not sure to understand the change :/

I'm not sure about this, but I already noticed (and someone else on the forum) that all files are not on all mirors, that's why I left this solution (and for the reliability).

Not included (?)

Does your solution rely on a single & defined mirror ?

You should probably always use start "" /wait [...] This solve problemes with path having spaces and/or quotes.

My way only require the app name, and will also populate the entire thing itself . So I'm keeping mine.

But I'm already using template, and I don't think that's their role. Empty User Agent in app = use the default global User agent Empty User agent in global settings = use the default internal User agent That should be the behaviour IMHO.

The idea is to have an editable global User Agent, not a per application User Agent. Like the DownloadBeta option.

Here's a template to keep updated Piriform portable apps, which only require app name and 7zip/7za somewhere to extract application. Website URL field require v1.6, else you can use this instead : <WebsiteUrl>http://www.piriform.com/<placeholder name="Lowercase appname" variable="appname:tolower" /></WebsiteUrl> It include a Guid (prototype template).* Globals : ketarin-version=1.6.0.400 7za=..\7-Zip\7za.exe Template : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Jobs> <ApplicationJob xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Guid="dffa70a5-b3bf-4cc6-8d1c-18ee1a8790e2"> <SourceTemplate><![CDATA[]]></SourceTemplate> <WebsiteUrl>http://www.piriform.com/{appname:tolower}</WebsiteUrl> <UserAgent>Ketarin/{ketarin-version}</UserAgent> <UserNotes /> <LastFileSize>0</LastFileSize> <LastFileDate xsi:nil="true" /> <IgnoreFileInformation>true</IgnoreFileInformation> <DownloadBeta>Default</DownloadBeta> <CheckForUpdatesOnly>false</CheckForUpdatesOnly> <VariableChangeIndicator>version</VariableChangeIndicator> <CanBeShared>true</CanBeShared> <ShareApplication>false</ShareApplication> <ExclusiveDownload>false</ExclusiveDownload> <HttpReferer /> <SetupInstructions /> <Variables> <item> <key> <string>version</string> </key> <value> <UrlVariable> <RegexRightToLeft>false</RegexRightToLeft> <VariableType>RegularExpression</VariableType> <Regex>Version\s+([0-9.]{2,})</Regex> <Url>http://www.piriform.com/{appname:tolower}/download</Url> <Name>version</Name> </UrlVariable> </value> </item> </Variables> <ExecuteCommand>pushd "{file:directory}" {7za} e -y "{file:filename}" del "{file:filename}" popd</ExecuteCommand> <ExecutePreCommand /> <ExecuteCommandType>Batch</ExecuteCommandType> <ExecutePreCommandType>Batch</ExecutePreCommandType> <Category /> <SourceType>FixedUrl</SourceType> <DeletePreviousFile>true</DeletePreviousFile> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <FileHippoId /> <TargetPath>{root-soft}\{appname}\</TargetPath> <FixedDownloadUrl>http://www.piriform.com/{appname:tolower}/download/portable/downloadfile</FixedDownloadUrl> <Name><placeholder name="Piriform application" /></Name> </ApplicationJob> </Jobs> *: Any way to differentiate topic templates with and without Guid ?

Hi, Can we have a new global option that allow to set and replace the default "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1)" User Agent ? And maybe use "Ketarin/{ketarin-version}" as default User Agent (which works with the largely used SF.net and should with with most website) ? Regards, Alexandre Edit: and {ketarin-version} as new variable ?

Yep, actually when you know it, it is really simple. This case is even in the troubleshooting page of the wiki, but maybe it should explicitly point out SF.net.

Thanks ! I only tried on this app, but using "Ketarin/{ketarin-version}" with ketarin-version as 1.6.0.400 works too. Is there any way to set a global user agent (not using templates) ? Shouldn't Ketarin prefer this solution (if not already) ? There were a lot of complicated and (most of them) not working solutions, and I missed the simple user agent solution . "Real" UserAgent like "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.597.47 Safari/534.13" isn't working though (that's what I tried). Edit: Tomorrow thanks too.

Hi, I tried today to use (great) Ketarin to download from SourceForge using auto mirror, and after having tried lots of configuration (url, referer, user agent), I'm unable to make this work in Ketarin.

But when updating, Ketarin says So : what am I missing ? I saw that there's a new way to download from SF using credentials (though it's not documented yet), but this seems useless in this case. Any help or explanation about why it's not working ? Thanks in advance, Regards, Alexandre
