Server authentication (General questions)
I need to authenticate to the server with a client certificate. Is this possible? Can I do the check and download steps of the update process with wodHttpDLX and the last step (update) as normal?

Hi Paco,
Can you explain what exactly do you need?
You want to authenticate to that server same as you do with wodHttpDLX right? Using SSL and certificate?

Paco,
Did you try the Check method on the URL you require? What do you receive?
You should be able to check a Https site for updates.

My server requires a client certificate. How can I set it? In wodHttpDLX I have a Certificate property.

Paco,
Currently you cannot. I've already contacted our lead programmer on this. We will check how hard it will be to implement certificate authentication into the component.
We will inform you as soon as we know more.

Can I use a file://... URL in the Check method? If yes, I can download the config file with HttpDLX (in addition to setting a certificate, I need to set the proxy data manually as I do not use IE), download all NeedReplace files with HttpDLX, change the URL property of the UpdFiles to point to the downloaded files (with file://..) and call the Download method to continue as normal... Is this possible?

Paco,
Yes, that should work. You can point wodAppUpdate to files stored locally. You can even fill in the component Files collection on your own and call the Download method (without checking).
Or you can download the the config file and call the Check method on it locally.
However, perhaps it would be easier to wait a while while we implement certificate authentication into the component.

I will wait, but I may need (besides certificates) NTLM authentication, proxy settings (ProxyHostName, ProxyType,...) for my intranet scenario. In short, I need all the features of wodHttpDLX...
Thanks!

Paco,
wodAppUpdate cannot provide all features of wodHttpDLX because wodHttpDLX isn't used in it - it would increase it's size for almost a megabyte. wodAppUpdate uses different way of fetching remote URL.
Perhaps it would be more convinient for you to fetch resource by wodHttpDLX, save it locally (it is saved by wodHttpDLX anyway!) and pass it's local file to wodAppUpdate? Would that solve your problem?

Yes. This solution seems valid for me.
I will try it.
Thanks!

The SFTP ocx is one of the finest pieces of programming I have seen. It worked out of the box...

We are having great success with your component ... email server that has over 750 000 mailboxes back ended by a SQL server...

You made it so simple for us to integrate SFTP - a technology we had little experience with...

You did a great job on wodSSH and wodSSHServer! I got a lot for very little money. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your hard work and commitment in producing well thought-out solutions. WeOnlyDo is very committed to customer satisfaction!

...with WOD's excellent support I was able to bypass Winsock and focus on the task at hand...

Brilliant, even works on the mobile phone...

It was no small factor, however, that your support in getting me up and running made me buy from you.

...not only that you provide these components at very reasonable cost, your responsiveness to emailed technical questions is simply outstanding...

Your customer service was excellent, and I will look at your products in the future for precisely that reason.
