Interesting idea there. Always like innovation. :-) It is risky to go directly to that URL though, because it has been known to change, sometimes without warning, to a completely different one. The safest way to do this would be to get that address from a Frame tag at http://www.dlee.org and then go to that. Pseudo code that looks suspitiously like Python:
url = "http://www.dlee.org/skype/"; lines = urllib.urlopen(url).readlines() for line in lines: if "<frame src=" in line: url = line.split('="', 1)[1] url = url.split('"', 1)[0] lines = urllib.urlopen(url).readlines() break # process lines as before. I did not test that code btw. Other than that, it sounds like your approach should continue to work as long as I maintain the incremental update strategy I adopted a few months ago, wherein I have occasional version code changes but more frequent replacement updates. At this time, I believe I'll keep that structure in effect for a while. On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 08:19:18PM +0100, Hrvoje Kati?? wrote: Ok here's how program works: 1. It connects to http://kirk.dlee.org:13380/skype/skype5.php. The reason why it doesn't connect to www.dlee.org/skype is because in this case no required data will be retrieved by WebClient class. 2. Next, it searches for first heading at level 2 containing string "Revision XXX", which shows the current version (for example "Revision 52a"). 3. Last, it searches for first heading at level 3 which contains string "Revision XXX", which shows the latest revision (for example "Revision 640"). 4. Then it downloads the file depending on user's selection from the url http://kirk.dlee.org:13380/skype/jfw-skr";... The rest of a string is "_nsi.exe", ".exe" or ".zip", depending on user's selection.
