My question is more site-development related.
What I plan to do is to distribute tasks to clients which will connect to the Web server. Jobs are defined in files, residing on the server, and clients have to be somehow authenticated (nothing really serious, they just need to be privously registered in the site) My question is what is a good and easy to implement way to do this? The other constraint is that a program should be able to download a task too (no user interaction is allowed.)
I was thinking of having the files defining the jobs in a password protected directory and then making the programs send the username and password to the server. But I don't know how to do that. The other problemm is that I'm not really happy with this desing, and was thinking that there might be better ways to do it. Yet another problem is that how will the client download the file? I was hoping to redirect the client to the URL to the file. Is there a better way to do this...?
Has anybody done this before? Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Sorry folks, but I'm just new to all of this...
Cheers, --Sasan
