It's possible, but as other replies have already mentioned, it would be much safer for you to just mirror the files on your own server.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk download file locations
Or hardcode the Digium URL in your script and on failure grab from your mirrors, and to make absolutely sure your mirror should resolve to a DNS name and then if *that* fails, a hardcoded IP. That way, you get 3 layers. -Original Message- From: Joseph Tanner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 9:46 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk download file locations If it's a commercial product, you should definitely mirror the files. Not only because you're benefiting financially, but because you need full control. Perhaps you'd like to incorporate a patch or two in the source? Or maybe you'd like to use a stable label, so the script downloads stable.tar.gz. Once you've tested a new version and it works with your customizations/patches/whatever, you just upload it and rename it as stable.tar.gz, and any customer who runs your script automatically gets the latest and greatest. You could simulate some of this without mirroring asterisk though. Have the script check your server for a value, say the location to download asterisk. This will let you update the URL if it changes, or have it point to a newer version of asterisk, etc. Of course, I would hardcode in some values that the script could use, in case it can't reach your server but can reach digium's.
