TWebUpdate http fails

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack
1

Hello,


I'm trying to update my application using TWebUpdate.
When I use ftp, it works fine, but when using http, it fails.
It can read the inf file but when it needs to download the update file, the url seems to contain only the filename and not the complete url.
What am I doing wrong here?

This it the output of the log file:

When I look at URL: http://www.crmobjects.be/liveupdate/CrmObjects.INF  directly from the browser

the content appears to be empty ?

Bruno,


strange, I see content when I go the file.
This is the content I see in firefox.
Caching problem maybe?

I created the inf file with the updatebuilder.
In the inf file created with the updatebuilder it was specified like this:

Bruno,

Yes that should be it.


If you set BaseURL in UpdateBuilder though, it should use it to prefix filename and when you have multiple files, you only need to specify it once. That could also help.
