WebUpdate & error 12006

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack

Hello,
I'm trying to use the WebUpdate component, but I keep getting this error: The application correctly downloads the inf file from the web, correctly detects that an update is available, but when it tries to download the update file, error 12006 appears.
My test inf file comes out like this:
[update]
unconditional=1

[files]
count=1

[file1]
url=whatsnew.txt
localversion=whatsnew.txt
targetdir={app}

The output of the log file is:
13/06/2023 17:17:58 : [918] Checking for Internet connection (Status:3) (Error:0)

Unable to figure out the cause of this error. Can you please advise me?

Try to specify the full HTTP URL for the whatsnew.txt file.

Thank you, this INF file really works:
[update]
unconditional=1

[files]
count=1

[file1]
url=https://xxx.xxx.cz/whatsnew.txt
localversion=whatsnew.txt
targetdir={app}

But in this case, I guess you can't use UpdateBuilder if it only stores the filename in the INF file? Or am I wrong?

4

Did you set the under Global Settings, Upload, HTTP base url to https://xxx.xxx.cz/ ?

I'm sorry, I didn't notice that. Everything seems fine now, thank you. Now I have everything fine-tuned to my liking :).
