Folks, a little help here would be appreciated, if you have a mo'.... I have a local virus definition file on a MDK 9 ftp server that needs to be kept up to date, so that client machines will be updated when they log in. The latter part is accomplished by using a perl script invoking the virus checker itself to get the definition vers number, then it goes off and downloads the newer definition if necessary. All works fine on the client...
Now, the server. I do not want to run/cannot run the virus checker on the server, so I cannot get the definition version string this way. What I *think* I need to do is to grab the file name from the remote site, strip out all the guff, leaving just the numbers in a variable, then do the same with the local file and then compare the two. If local < remote, go grab remote, then delete the older local. Can anyone help me in achieving the server-side stuff? An added complication is that the remote URL is not absolute - it goes through akamai's servers (hence the choice of curl)..
