Works for me but the URLs are different. I had redirected openoffice.org 
(notice, no www) to another host and I kept getting an error, so I 
investigated.


As one can see with wget, the current redirect is
http://update38.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
-
http://openoffice.org/projects/update38/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
-
http://www.openoffice.org/projects/update38/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
which works but is probably not the cleanest way. Also, it would likely 
be the first resource we use that depends on http://openoffice.org 
instead of http://www.openoffice.org (in Oracle times, the first one was 
used for Kenai resources, the second one was the website).

Thanks for testing.
Thus, you got an error in the AOO 3.4 update functionality, because you have an 
own redirect from openoffice.org to another host. Right?

Does the update functionality works, if you do not have your own redirect?
I am asking in order to be sure that I got the right message.

I was not aware of the difference between www.openoffice.org and 
openoffice.org.
In the JIRA issue INFRA-4830 I had requested a redirect from [2] to [1].
But I got in direct contact with the infrastructure team on its IRC channel 
#asfinfra in order to get guidance. The infrastructure team reacted quite fast - 
they immediately established the redirect. I am not sure, if I had requested the 
same redirect to openoffice.org/... or to www.openoffice.org/... in the IRC 
chat. I will check it this the infrastructure team.


Best regards, Oliver.

It worked correctly. I had setup that redirect on my machine just to 
moderate lists on the legacy infrastructure after the DNS change (Oracle 
to Apache) had been completed; it is now useless of course. When I 
removed my redirect, everything worked as expected and I received a 
message saying that no updates were available.

Hm..
As far as I know only one HTTP GET request is performed internally by AOO 3.4.

I think it is already possible to configure a proxy. And in case no proxy is

Hi,

From my point of view it would make sense to reactivate a simple update
service for AOO 3.4.

The update URL for AOO 3.4 is:
http://update38.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
(plus a query part ?pkgfmt=pkgformat for non-Windows platforms)

As this URL resolves to nothing, the user currently gets the following
response from the update functionality in AOO 3.4:
Status: Checking for an update failed.
Description: General Internet error has occurred.

I propose provide the following XML document when a HTTP GET request to the
above given URL is made:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
inst:description
xmlns:inst=http://installation.openoffice.org/description;
/inst:description

Kay already made such an XML document available at:
http://www.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update

This response would allow the update functionality in AOO 3.4 to return to
the user that the version is up to date.

Thus, to reactivate an working update service for AOO 3.4 a redirection is
needed.



Are proposing that we just have a static XML file and redirect the
requests so it loads that static file?



Yes, as a short-term and fast solution.


I can see that as being a useful short-term solution. But soon we'll
need some more complicated logic, right? For example, when we enable
the 3.3. update check, we'll need to know that updates are available
for some languages, but not others. Can we do that all with
redirection to static files? Or do we need server-based logic, i.e.,
a cgi script?



Static files would be possible, because each version has its own update service
URL, but it would be not the best solution for the long-term.
Thus, some server-based logic would make sense.


If we're going to need a cgi script in the end, I wonder if it makes
sense to start with one now? We could have a simply script that today
just always points to the no update available XML for AOO 3.4. But
then we make it more complicated as we go.



I am currently in preparation of a proposal for an update service for OOo 3.3
installations. Here, I can/will demonstrate how a server-based logic would look
like.


Can somebody make this happen?
I have to admit that do not have the knowledge to do it on my own.



If we just redirect to a static file, I think you can just enter a
JIRA request for Infra. If we go with a cgi script then we need
someone to develop that script first.



If nobody objects, I would go for this short-term and static approach and would
ask via JIRA request for Infra, if the redirect to the already existing static
file can be established.



Ok, let us drive this issue a little bit more.

For the static and short-term update service for AOO 3.4 I will do the 
following:
- Creation of HTTP resource [1] provided the above given simple XML document


Done.


- Asking ASF Infrastructure via corresponding JIRA issue to redirect HTTP GET
requests for URL [2] (Update URL of AOO 3.4) to URL [2]


Done - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4830



The infrastructure team was reacting very fast.
The redirect is established.

Thus, please check in your AOO 3.4 installation, if the update functionality 
returns that your installation is up to date.


Thanks in advance, Oliver

OpenOffice.org 3.4 is up to date.  Yay!  Fast work indeed #asfinfra folk!

Although we should update the product name there for the next build, eh?

Hi,

From my point of view it would make sense to reactivate a simple
update
service for AOO 3.4.

The update URL for AOO 3.4 is:
http://update38.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update

(plus a query part ?pkgfmt=pkgformat for non-Windows platforms)

As this URL resolves to nothing, the user currently gets the
following
response from the update functionality in AOO 3.4:
Status: Checking for an update failed.
Description: General Internet error has occurred.

I propose provide the following XML document when a HTTP GET
request to the
above given URL is made:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
inst:description
xmlns:inst=http://installation.openoffice.org/description;
/inst:description

Kay already made such an XML document available at:
http://www.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update

This response would allow the update functionality in AOO 3.4 to
return to
the user that the version is up to date.

Thus, to reactivate an working update service for AOO 3.4 a
redirection is
needed.



Are proposing that we just have a static XML file and redirect the
requests so it loads that static file?



Yes, as a short-term and fast solution.


I can see that as being a useful short-term solution. But soon we'll
need some more complicated logic, right? For example, when we enable
the 3.3. update check, we'll need to know that updates are available
for some languages, but not others. Can we do that all with
redirection to static files? Or do we need server-based logic, i.e.,
a cgi script?



Static files would be possible, because each version has its own
update service
URL, but it would be not the best solution for the long-term.
Thus, some server-based logic would make sense.


If we're going to need a cgi script in the end, I wonder if it makes
sense to start with one now? We could have a simply script that today
just always points to the no update available XML for AOO 3.4. But
then we make it more complicated as we go.



I am currently in preparation of a proposal for an update service
for OOo 3.3
installations. Here, I can/will demonstrate how a server-based logic
would look
like.


Can somebody make this happen?
I have to admit that do not have the knowledge to do it on my own.



If we just redirect to a static file, I think you can just enter a
JIRA request for Infra. If we go with a cgi script then we need
someone to develop that script first.



If nobody objects, I would go for this short-term and static
approach and would
ask via JIRA request for Infra, if the redirect to the already
existing static
file can be established.



Ok, let us drive this issue a little bit more.

For the static and short-term update service for AOO 3.4 I will do
the following:
- Creation of HTTP resource [1] provided the above given simple XML
document


Done.


- Asking ASF Infrastructure via corresponding JIRA issue to redirect
HTTP GET
requests for URL [2] (Update URL of AOO 3.4) to URL [2]


Done - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4830



The infrastructure team was reacting very fast.
The redirect is established.

Thus, please check in your AOO 3.4 installation, if the update
functionality returns that your installation is up to date.

Thanks in advance, Oliver

Thanks for the test.

Yes, infrastructure is very kind.

One little question: On which operating system do you have your AOO 3.4 instance 
running.


Yes, I have already seen the old strings.


Best regards, Oliver.
