Hi Kay,

Well interesting...I did some editing of versionrc and now I get that
an
update does not exist  after pulling off the pkgfmt=rpm requirement.
However, we can not expect users of existing product to go messing
with
their existing setups (i.e. editing files). I don't mind the odd
message
I
was getting before about an "rpm" package not being found.

I'm just wondering if there's some way to configure the snippet you
sent
to
just do something a bit more friendly for all possible situations that
are
currently out there now.

Thoughts? Any experts on how to create a generic null feed?

I tried with my original empty xml file (not a feed) and it works as
expected with every combination:

UpdateURL=
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/ProductUpdateService/check.Update

UpdateURL=
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=rpm

UpdateURL=
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=deb

UpdateURL=
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=dmg

I can't see why it does not work for you.
Please try pointing the UpdateURL to this file
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/ProductUpdateService/check.Update

Well, foo, when I do this replacement, it does work as you say! Darn!
OK,
let me re-investigate why the other snippet with my internal host
redirect
isn't working quite right! :(

How are doing this redirect?

Regards,
Dave


I've got the following in my local /etc/hosts

  140.211.11.131  update36.services.openoffice.org

here are versions I've played with in "versionrc" (I split the lines for
easier reading for you)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Version]
AllLanguages=en-US
buildid=330m20(Build:9567)
ExtensionUpdateURL=
http://updateexte.services.openoffice.org/ExtensionUpdateService/check.Update
OOOBaseVersion=3.3
ProductBuildid=9567
ProductMajor=330
ProductMinor=20
ProductSource=OOO330
UpdateID=OpenOffice.org_3_en-US

#UpdateURL=
http://update36.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=rpm

UpdateURL=
http://update36.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update

#UpdateURL=
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=rpm

UpdateUserAgent=<PRODUCT>  (${buildid}; ${_OS}; ${_ARCH};
BundledLanguages=${AllLanguages})
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

using Ariel's returns "no update". Using the current one with the redirect
returns the error business. (i mean it connects but I get a different
message, a failed...)

Things of note vis a vis people.apache.org vs www.openoffice.org (where I
have the current re-route)

If you just bring up:

http://www.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update

vs

http://people.apache.org/~arielch/ProductUpdateService/check.Update

they look different in my browser...one has "UTF-8" vs "utf-8"

so I'm curious about this. I did up a little cgi and ran it on both
people.apache.org and well, ooo-site-staging.apache.org and they both
produce the same environment info.  So ???

http://people.apache.org/~kschenk/cgi-bin/env.cgi
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/cgi-bin/env.cgi

I will change the "UTF-8" to "utf-8" on www.openoffice.org and see what
happens. Also did a diff on them and nothing but the case business.

Meanwhile -- do you know how we get cgi to run on www.openoffice.org? I
see we have a directory for this. I dumped some test scripts in it, but
www.openoffice.org/cgi-bin/h.cgi (Hello World) preoduces nothing. :(

If not, I will get in touch with INFRA.


a final note on this...if I directly put

UpdateURL=http://www.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update<http://people.apache.org/%7Earielch/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?pkgfmt=rpm>

in my versionrc file, it works per Ariel's comments -- 'No Update
Available".

However, my redirect via /etc/hosts causes the weird result. So maybe
something is not quite right with this (???)



It looks like your local 'redirection' does not work.

You can check your 'redirection' in your browser.

On my system (Windows 7) I observe the following:
- browsing to www.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update using FireFox shows me the XML snippet.
- a ping to www.openoffice.org reveals IP address 140.211.11.131.
- browsing to 140.211.11.131/ProductUpdateService/check.Update using FireFox return "404 Not Found".
- browsing to 140.211.11.311 using FireFox shows ASF main page.
- adapting my ...\etc\hosts file as you have done and browsing to update36.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update using FireFox results in a connection time stating the standard message which is headed by "The connection was reset" - the same you got when you browse to a non-existing server - reverting the change to my ...\etc\hosts and performing a ping to update36.services.openoffice.org outputs the following:
<output>
$ ping update36.services.openoffice.org

Pinging sd-web2.staroffice.de [192.18.197.109] with 32 bytes of data:
