Install My Files From The Web [V8.01.00]

Previous Page
This application illustrates an installation JumpStart procedure called JumpStartInstallFilesFromWeb() that pulls together several CHT classes, namely HNDHTTP, HNDCLNT, HNDISKEX and HNDBUFFER, to provide developers with an easy-to-implement means of building across-the-web auto-updating into their products.

This application first connects to HNDFILSVSPECIAL.APP or HNDFILSSV.APP to download an installation files list. Next it downloads the listed files and places them in the designated directories below the installer's configured target directory. Files are only downloaded when the CRC value provided for any file is different than the CRC of the file already installed.

The server auto-encrypts and auto-compresses files at the request of this client and files are auto-decrypted and auto-decompressed on arrival. Replaced files are copied to the backup directory before replacement is made.

A configuration procedure called JumpStartHTTPLoginConfigShort() is provided in order to change the installation server as well as the local target and backup directories. The installer always recalls it's last installation log from the config menu.
