Using AutoHotkey to auto-download and update programs

<< < (2/2)

DonL:
I think all I need for this Autohotkey script is something like this:

<?php
header("Location: download/xyplorer_5.80_beta.zip");
?>

ah yes a redirect, I'll test if this works here too. Sometimes the simplest solution is overlooked :) edit: Indeed it seems the UrlDownloadToFile function of AutoHotkey supports redirection perfectly.

The very simplest you can make something like this work I think would be:


--- ---#SingleInstance,Force
#Persistent
SetBatchLines,-1
UrlDownloadToFile, http://www.some.url/some.asp, c:\temp\destinat.ion
ExitApp
Return
With (my asp/vbscript example): (some.asp)

--- Code: ASP ---<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%><%Option ExplicitResponse.Buffer = True ' Permanent redirectionResponse.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.some.url/redirect.exe"Response.End%>
Technical implementation is then not really a reason why not to support a 'latest' redirection link.
