Download-URL for updates

Post by guebert »

Hallo!

Because of security reasons we desided to disallow all "normal" clients to download executeable files, except from known URLs. Is the download URL of PDFX always the same ("http://c1236872.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/...")?

Hi Michael,

No, this is not a static url but a cloud link attached to https://www.pdf-xchange.com/PDFXVwer.zip which is the literal download link for the latest Viewer installer. The cloud will use various url's while serving the files for download.

We have a European server with a static url and serve the latest released installers from there as well.

http://www.docu-track.co.uk/PDFXVwer.zip, this may simplify your situation.

Best,
Chris Attrell

Hi Michael,

The Static URL for liveupdate is: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/liveupd ... teList.xml, the files are then physically served from this URL:

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/PDFXVwer.zip as I stated and which is delivered from the non-static cloud repository.
