Update Request Authentication ?!?

Hello

I have an idea to create dynamic update .aiu file with php. But I want update to identify to my script with post variables user and passwords. Is this possible with existing updater.exe ?

I need this feature because I want to send different updates to different users and use 1 URL address for this.

Is there any other way updater.exe to identify itself to my php script?

Hi,
I need this feature because I want to send different updates to different users and use 1 URL address for this.
When the Updater ask for the updates.aiu file (file restricted with user/password on your server) if that user does not have access to the file you can return error codes: 401 or 407.

Or you can dynamically generate the .aiu file (using the .php script) containing only the updates available for that user. The updates configuration file (.aiu) is a INI file so it's very easy to manipulate.

When the Updater receives error codes like 401 or 407 he will prompt the user to enter the username and password required by the server.

Best Regards,
Gigi
