Hi,
All seems right. One missing point is the query part of the URL, a non-WNT feature related to the package format, see http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/scp2/source/ooo/common_brand.scp?revision=1296424&view=markup#l1031${UPDATEURL}?pkgfmt=<pkgformat> A web service should analyze the query string, pkgfmt can be rpm or deb (in a common Linux install set).
the former Product Update Service differentiated between update URLs pointing to a binary location and update notifications that pointed to a landing page. In case of a binary location the pkg format is used to differ between sh (Self extracting binary as UNIX shell script), rpm and deb (Linux), dmg (Mac) and exe (Win32) for binaries. The name scheme of binary distributions is also important to get things automated.
