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?

Yes

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.

Re: Server authentication
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.

Re: Server authentication
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.
