It's the last big missing feature for IP clearance. We have to reimplement the UCP and have to integrate 3 libs (apr, apr-util and serf) in our buil env. It's mainly Oliver and Andre who are working on this right now.
If the update feature is based on the http/WebDAV UCP, we can probably test it soon. But anyway great job to all of you who analyzed the feature so far. It's of big help to move forward. Juergen
